Is it worth it to pay 32k in rent for a room in bangalore if you work remotely ?

So I'm staying in pg from past 1.6 years and office was in indiranagar but now office got shifted to Cambridge layout which 3kms from pg. The costs I'm bearing are Pg rent : 11k (two sharing) Commute : 3-3.5k I want to stay near by office, so I have scouted a fully furnished 1rk in halasuru which is 1km from office and the costs I'll bearing are Rent : 12k Deposit : 30k Wifi : 700 Renovation charges : 12k at the time of vacating Note : I might look for job change based on appraisal in April (not at all sure) So which will be better option for me, I feel like living alone and independently and pg started to feel like a jail to me. Pls help a grapeviner out. TIA

Hi guys! I am planning to move to blr but i hear the rent situation is really bad. Can someone suggest what are some areas that I should look into ? I don't need to travel a lot as I work for a fully remote startup. Any suggestions?

I got a job offer of 10 LPA base as a Business Analyst at a BFSI company. The work is full remote with an option to do hybrid as well. The office is in Bangalore and I really want to move there since it’s just the starting of my career and I feel like I could learn a lot by being in office, but idk if I can afford Bangalore rent and COL with this base. Any inputs (including your thoughts on if I should stay remote or move to Bangalore) are appreciated.

Considering the crazy high rent these days(talking about localities in Bangalore), what makes more sense keeping aside the emotional aspect. Buying a house or renting one? Side Note: I have looked at a calculator by Ankur Warikoo, but I don’t agree to the calculations made.

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'm not able to wrap my head around the pace at which rents increase in Bangalore. We moved here about a year ago and rented a 2 BHK semi-furnished apartment with basic amenities for 28k plus maintenance charges. The rent agreement said there would be a 10% increase after one year. Even though it was a bit over our budget, we decided to go for it. Now, a year has passed and we've settled in, but the owner is suddenly saying he's canceling the previous agreement and starting a new one with a rent of 38k plus maintenance. And he told us this only 15 days before! This new amount feels way too high for our apartment. We're thinking about moving out, but then again the trouble of finding another place and shifting all our stuff in short period is making me anxious. We are not able to decide on what to do. Is this normal here? Any advice?

I am joining a new company which is remote first. Does it makes sense to be in banglore? Given that if i move to my home town, I will save 95% of my income. I am confused because I also like banglore and dont like the idea of living with my parents. But if i stay at home for 2 3 years, I would be able to buy a property in banglore when i move back in future.

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

I have been in Bangalore for the last 3 years and am thinking about having my next atleast 15 years here in Bangalore. What will be the better option? Renting the flat as per job location or just buying a flat.
