Bengaluru's high cost of living: Is moving to a cheaper area worth the pay cut?

Hey peeps, need comparison of these cities on the basis of the cost of living and ease of living. Because for Maintaining lifestyle I think we should consider every aspect of expenditure. And since the time I left Delhi ncr, i haven't had a chance to be in any city which has a closer or better public transport system. P.S. on quora there are advocates for all 3 cities. I need a fair opinion on this.

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month. Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own. Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

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?

Hello, I have 5yoe at big4, currently working from my hometown. However recently I received an offer for a product company (pre-sales) which needs me to relocate to Bangalore. The hike is good 45% but considering the CoL I might just be saving 10-15k more per month than I do now. So, my question is, is it worth joining the product firm and relocate?

Got a job offer which is asking me to relocate to bangalore. I’m currently based out of Gurgaon and not familiar with the rent/amenties scene there. What is a good salary range to live a good life there? By good I mean - Living in a decent (subjective ik) society with some basic amenities like gym, park, pool (would love that) etc. - Dining/Partying at least once a month. - Going out to some place atleast once a week - Having a maid for cooking + cleaning Other expenses would remain same across cities (digital products/shopping etc) All pointers appreciated.

I'm currently in the growth marketing field and based in Delhi. I've recently received job offers from both Mumbai and Bangalore, and I'm trying to decide where to move. I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences about living in these cities. How is living cost and social life there? Do suggest me on the same, will be moving in next month, need expertise on the same.
