Gurgaon companies lowballs

Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good. But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city. Some cons: - Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city - Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere - You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better. - Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive - Alcohol is expensive. - Good food is expensive The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country. I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends. Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them. Adios!

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon. 1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place. 2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted. 3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol. It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.

I have received two offers, one from Nykaa (SDE-2 full-stack) and the other from MMT (SDE-2 frontend). Both are for the Banglore location. Which one should I choose considering better work culture and work-life balance? Any help will be appreciated.

This is kinda weird and unexpected - It has just been a couple of months since I left my previous company (a Unicorn) from a senior role in business. I left on good terms due to reasons like : Lack of personal growth in sales-led roles and being in the same industry for long. I had just moved from BLR to Gurgaon to a new startup (run by a conglomerate) and it has not exactly gone as per my expectations - no Hybrid WFH option (WFH is not very common in non-tech domains too); extreme micromanagement and the weather+vibes in Gurgaon (no offence please). Now, my previous company has called me back for a strategy role. I'm super confused: 1. I prefer BLR any day 2. I prefer working in Hybrid mode any day 3. But I left my previous company due to stagnation in sales roles. The role offered to me now is a Strategy+ Partnership one. 4. I am not exactly sure how I will tell my current employer about this. It will be a dark mark?

Came down from Delhi NCR for just two days. Everything here was sub par. Weather, traffic, offices, food, you name it

Seriously contemplating moving to Delhi/Gurgaon/Noida due to personal reasons. Folks working there in IT, how's the work culture and overall state of tech industry?
