Bangalore is the Best city in India

"Macha why do you like Bangalore? Weather bro." These tech bros can't stand normal weather, but will go through shitty infra, traffic, hooliganism, and what not for slightly better weather.

If so, why? (I am doing so because going back home and living with parents sounds a bit depressing.)

Hey, has anyone moved to Dubai for work. A relative and a few friends moved recently and only have very good things to say. But wanted to get a balanced view. What are the pros and cons of moving there for work? My current understanding: Pros -Tax free income -Cosmopolitan environment -Hopefully better work life balance Cons -Expensive overall (Rent, Food) -Harsh weather -No easy path to citizenship

Which cities in India have you lived in? Which one did you like the best? Where did you find the best people? Which city is best for hustle for 25-30 year olds? Any perspective on any city is welcome here. Curious to hear what people have to say. Thanks in advance.

Today I watched a youtube video from OpenLetter having title: What destroyed Bengaluru? | Save Bengaluru | Open Letter I have watched other youtube videos also saying that Banglore has a bad infrastructure, it has the shortage of water, it has very high cost of living etc. While I find that for your IT career growth, Banglore is the best place. You have lots of opportunities here. Banglore has more educated people as compared to other IT HUb cities like Gurgaon or Noida (I live in Gurgaon right now). It's true that Banglore has bad traffic situation but are the youtubers exaggerating this or is this really true? Is it true that Banglore has a bad infrastructure as compared to other cities of India? While when I went to Banglore, I found it better than the other cities.

Waste fcks. Look I am someone who wouldn't do this shaming of our cities, we are quite secure about BLR and don't really care what happens elsewhere. However your city folk stink when in Bangalore. So enjoy their gifts coming home. And have some shame

2.5 years back, we consulted asscom Bangalore on what should be potential location to start our global business Center. Why ? Because asscom is supposed to be IT industry spoc for the government and has power to influence government to take care of the industry and in position to guide clients on location etc. We were told Bangalore is best location. Reason given ? Youngsters across India want to get away with family and have freedom, booze, party etc and Bangalore gives that freedom opportunity and hence there will never be talent shortage. (Very strange reason to attract companies but it seems to be working for some companies) When we asked about traffic, pollution etc. - we were told that’s a trade off to get talent and not relevant as in India people are used to traffic jams and all cities are equally polluted. (Again, very strange reason totally ignoring major civic challenges) My leadership from US was amused and decided never to consult them again. We ended up opening our Center in a tier-2 city and couldn’t be more happier. I moved out of Bangalore to lead the project and never going back now. Maybe if asscom leaders spent less time in cocktail parties with the government and spent more time in understanding genuine issues of people and arm twisting government to fix people issues, we would have been in much better situation. Industry made them like union leaders and they are now enjoying the limelight doing nothing for the industry Rant over .. this is not a diss in Bangalore but on industry bodies claiming to work for betterment of industry and not doing enough.

Bombay’s the financial capital of India and Bangalore’s the Silicon Valley of India. Which one would you prefer and why? Would your opinion change w.r.t age (eg. 20s are better in Mumbai vs 30s are better in Bangalore? Any thoughts?
