How you invest if you are earning 20 LPA as a Software Engineer in Bangalore.

How much CTC is said to be good for a person to be going to do a job in Bengaluru or other city?

I am 26 years old software engineer from Bengaluru having pretty good salary but was thinking of starting some business, what do you all do and what do you guys suggest?

Me and my wife are 30 years old software engineer with no kids. Draw 7 lac a month please some yearly bonus. We invest 2 lac a month combined into equity market through mutual funds. Expenses: 1.5 lac a month including everything, lives in Bangalore in good society, owns a car, don't thing much before spending. Still after everything left with 3 lakhs every month in bank account. Not sure how to use that. We both don't have any fancy "shauk" where we can spend and hence don't have an urge to earn more. Any suggestions???

I know this is very vague bordering on stupidity, but for a single guy to survive in Bangalore, what is like the average monthly expense etc, if planning to stay in a small house while eating outside Does an average Software Engg job cross that threshold

I might get an offer from the company which is ready to give me good amount of money, but it's in banglore , I do wfh right now 2+ exp, how much should I ask so that I can live life to the fullest there, here is what I have calculated: My expenses in HSR layout: around 50k My investments: around 50k My saving and other stuff to enjoy my life there and send money to my parents also: 60k Total: 1.6lakhs per month atleast For that I need to have 24lpa as a base.. plus I need some relocation bonus. Is my expected salary at banglore less or more? How should I start my salary negotiation?

I will start with my list 1. Media.net 2. Amazon 3. Atlassian 4. Microsoft 5. Google

Recently my friends moved to 4 BHK apartment near Domlur. The total rent is coming to 1 Lakh for unfurnished apartment, it has some really good amenities. All 3 of them have offices nearby, and I work remotely for a US startup. After, furnishing and one time setup, just rent is coming to 32k. I am unsure, whether moving there would be worth it or not for me. I really enjoy company of my friends, but the rent for me is expensive + 6 months deposit. I can definitely afford to pay that much rent, but not sure whether it’ll be good decision or not because of market conditions and tons of uncertainties. I cannot back out if I say yes. I am super confused, one side I want to stay with friends and on other side rent and deposit is worrying me. Would love to hear thoughts of you all. 🙏
