I am Offered 29.5fixed by PwC for SA (L2). Currently on 25fixed. Should I join ? In terms of WLB.! My current employer on fishbowl shows Deloitte but have left Deloitte a year back. Currently in a firm with good WLB but PWFH is a big win for me that PwC is offering.
Any guidance or fist hand experience sharing is highly appreciated.

If you're negotiating just to negotiate, no. You need to have your "why" ready for an effective conversation and to properly influence the decision makers. If not, it'll show (and they'll pick up on it)
Simply put, is there a reason to take a lateral move? Moreover, one for less base? I ask for 15%-25% when moving jobs. And I don't count a bonus as part of that since I've been lied to multiple times regarding what to expect as an "average" bonus.
Get it in base and explain to them you do not want to move backwards in your annual salary. They can typically accommodate you by lowering a bonus potential, as a compromise.
Don't negotiate just for the sake of negotiating. That might have been good advice a few years ago, but it doesn't apply in a job market that is flooded with experienced candidates who are willing to accept what they are offered.
I would always recommend one counter! It can be a small ish amount too if that would make you feel more comfortable
