Yes, Bangalore isn't the only IT hub anymore. Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Noida, Lucknow, and Gurgaon are growing fast. Explore these cities for more opportunities.

I have heard Chennai too has similar issues. Hyderabad in comparison is far better, never faced any regionalism or language related issues here, no obsession or compulsion about Telugu language. There is a slight regionalism issue in Pune too.

Those who get burned out by Kannadiga's possession towards Kannada can go for Hyderabad, Pune or Chennai for IT jobs. Bangalore is no more an only option as before. Additionally IT sector is rapidly growing in other cities like Noida, Lucknow, Gurgaon etc, explore other options as well.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a software developer residing in Mumbai. I have an offer with Bangalore based company. Should I move ahead to Bangalore and start a new life there considering it is a hub for IT industries, especially Product based companies and my aspiration is to be among top Product companies as a software developer.

Should i accept an offer from Bangalore and move there?

You got an job offer letter in 2023 and was asked to choose between Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Where do you go ?

Tech lead

There are a couple of personal reasons coz of which I want to change the job and city. 
I want to start interviewing in this already slow hiring. 
Should I make the extra effort for looking outside ?

Is it advisable to change jobs in the current scenario ??

I don’t get the narrative of most south states to force their language on others. I mean people from different states in the north speak different native language i.e Punjabi, Haryanvi etc but still they can do the conversation in Hindi. 

Most of the people from Bangalore always come with the phrase “Go back to your state”. Someone please tell them that we are living in their state as we don’t have much choice. 

Also, almost 70% of their employment comes from people like us.

IT companies should expand their operations in cities like Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Noida.

What do you guys think about this unwelcoming nature of some local bangalore people?

Challenges of Language Imposition and Unwelcoming Attitudes in Bangalore

I am currently in process of sourcing reports doing location study for GCC, R&D and ITS setup for foreign clients.

Till now, this language imposition issue was discussed in corridors and never included in official reports when discussing location strategy. But its changing now and situation will only deteriorate from here if there are any more language riot or hooliganism. 

Other state govt officials now openly quote such news to foreign company leaders and why shouldn’t they as it’s competition to get more business and jobs and your competition is making self goals.

Thoughts ? I feel this will backfire badly

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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! 🙏🏻

Afraid about moving to Blr

It's crazy how this native-non native issue persists immensely in Bangalore. No other developed city like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune has this. 

Bangalore is going down big time with so much rising hate in the city.

Is this end near for BLR?

Hyderabad in the early 90s was a prime spot for software engineers, some of them who went to the US to establish businesses there, successfully.

Of late, the switch has turned and companies now prefer Hyderabad for its affordability and cheap availability of talent with the Many Indian metros. 

While this might create opportunities, this also leads to stagnation in terms of ideas and rampant exploitation. One reason why this is happening is possibly because of the cheap labor and human capital available from remote towns and villages of Andhra and Telangana

Why is Hyderabad becoming a cheap outsourcing capital?

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.

What would be your advise for freshers graduating this year from tier 2 and tier 3 colleges with no hopes of campus placements given the current hiring scenario?

Advise for freshers graduating in this yr

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

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.

According to the EASE OF LIVING INDEX: Banglore is the most livable city in India but I have watched some videos from youtubers continously saying that Banglore has destroyed.

Roads, Metro, Taxi Drivers arrogance, Corruption....Naah
Speak Kannada first.
I'll be as blunt as possible.
"Supporting this behaviour will make life hell for non-Kannadigas in Karnataka and Kannadigas out of Karnataka." 
This CM has done nothing but spread hatred and divide Karnataka as much as possible.

The story of how a prosperous city fell.

Background: I have always lived and worked across only Tier 1 cities of the country (was in a Tier 2 city for couple of years)
Though I love the ease and standard of living, the costs are insane. Plus all types of pollutants, lesser respect for humans

Suggest non Tier 1 cities which offer 
- house on rent to single women
- have electricity back up
- Swiggy/Zomato connectivity
- decent internet speed

Need city suggestions to move out of Tier 1
