Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

One of my team member said that he is paying ~2L per year as the fees for his child who's in 4th standard now, in Bengaluru. 

It's a CBSE school and is based out of Bengaluru. He pays additional for uniform, books, transport, etc. 

They also kind of want a well educated mom, but she shouldn't be working as there needs to be someone to take care of the children all the time.

Although I studied in an private engineering college (but one of the best in the state), it costed only around ~2,50,000 for everything across 4 years (2021 grad)

What the hell are they teaching over there? 💁🏻‍♂️

He also shared a few instances where parents are paying almost 6-10 lakhs for class 11 & 12 (coaching oriented). And then, of some who are paying ~25 Lakhs for B.Tech admission. 

I don't know where the world is going 🤯 

I would like to understand the opinions of those who are reading this.

Humongous school fees 🤯

Which entrance exam should i give CAT/GMAT? or suggest if other than above is required

Also, what will be the fees in the university for MBA per annum basis?

From which university should I do an MBA in Mumbai?

For example one of my cousins paid hefty some to get admission in a fancy school in near Bandra area (almost 10L plus)

How do you judge a pres school to be good or bad? What should one look for while selecting it?

Where does this comes from? Is this cultural? Haven't seen this anywhere except Mumbai where people after 10th go to college.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

Done with Tier1 cities, moving to tier 2 town with family - A rant

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

I want to learn swimming since a long while. However there aren't many swimming pools around me. The pools i found online were very expensive, or registration full, or specific time that I wasn't available on.

Please help your buddy out. I am looking for one between Andheri and Dadar (can stretch out more if needed).

Swimming Pools in Mumbai?

Any networking events happen in Mumbai during weekends? Any clue?

Networking events in Mumbai??

Data Consultant

Planning to spend my wife's bday in Mumbai. What are some of the best pubs/clubs to attend to enjoy best nightlife in Mumbai!

Best pubs/clubs to attend in Mumbai!

Guys not sure this space is right place to ask this question, but I'm looking for networking evens that happen in Mumbai on weekends.
Any clue?

I was talking to a colleague at office and got shocked to hear that he is paying around 5 lakhs per annum for his 4 year old kid who just goes to a play school. 

Looks like there has been major inflation in education and I've been out of touch of this. I remember even top private schools having max monthly fees around 5k some 10 years back. 

Folks with kids in Bangalore, how are you managing your child's education and how much do you spend on it? Are there any cheap alternatives like KV/govt schools? 

Also, with education getting so expensive it would definitely act as a deterrent for couples to have kids !

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Wanted to create a list of all the great companies based out of Mumbai. I will start from what I know based on my experience and understanding. 

1. BookMyShow
2. Browserstack 
3. Reliance Retail/Jio

Add companies to the list based WLB, Pay, and People.

PS: This is based on the post I saw for Bangalore

[Thread 🧵] Best Companies to Work in Mumbai.

I was suffering from 2-3 mild health issues in metro. (prolonged cold n cough, regular sneezing etc)

Came home 🏡 in diwali and now extended wfh due to health gain. Living with parents and consuming clean air + food is helping improve my sleep quality as well ❤️‍🩹 (2h+ deep sleep) 8h continuous sleep.

I did cost benifit analysis and have decided to work on a plan which will eventually help me settle down at my birthplace within 2-5y. 

synopsis --

Children's play under sun 🌞 and have group of 10 kids. They ain't worried about anything. Their happiness index > ceos.  
  
They don't know about masturbation till 10th or age 14 if they don't have a smartphone.   
  
My workplace is open and aqi is below 10. Strong peepal and banyan trees 🌴 even 100y old. When I feel stressed due to any reason I just go to see sunset near my place hardly 2km away. It's a stress buster with earbuds in and watching migrant birds crossing river.  
  
Ain't those birds more free and independent than us? Like they don't give a damn 🕊️ about future and enjoy the present.  
  
Very less car and almost 0 traffic ⛔. People still use bicycles and cycle repair shop>garages.   
  
Life is slow and peaceful. People go to sleep at 9-10pm and wake up at 5-6am.  
  
Life is too easy. Cost of a family with 2acre land is hardly 25k/m here.  
  
Sometimes I wonder why chase 2 lac/month sacrificing so much in a so called developed city.  
  
Society is ambivert. Pizza 🍕 🍔 burger biryani is trying to enter these areas.  
  
But I don't miss swiggy.  
  
Zeptonis redundant here.  
  
My 💳 credit card is lying there thinking why am not swiping it...  
  
  
  
यहाँ कोई मित्र नहीं है, कोई आश्वस्त चरित्न नहीं है,  
सब अर्धनिर्मित है।  
अर्धनिर्मित इमारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित बच्चों कि शरारतें हैं,  
अर्धनिर्मित ज़िन्दगी कि शर्ते हैं,  
अर्धनिर्मित जीवन पाने के लिए लोग रोज़ यहाँ मरते हैं।  
  
अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ के प्रेमियों का प्यार,  
अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ मनुष्यों के जीवन के आधार  
आज का दिन अर्धनिर्मित

Rural Life Experience.

Toughest part is to find better half with same mindset. 
  
 I travel frequently and have covered whole india except 3-4 places like Andaman, lakshadweep and NE. 
  
 What I have noticed is gen z is very high on drugs and manyatimes they have 4-5 digit savings even after working for 4-5y. I am not generalising or against it, they can live their life the way they want but it's the harsh reality. 
  
 Can anyone live without malls, clubs, multiplex and junk food nowadays? 
  
 Anyone on same boat or think like this or have any other perspective? 
  
 Am all ears ...

Senior Consultant

I know this is not the place for this but I am new to Hyderabad and have no idea which schools are good. My prior experience with a school was not soo good.

I am looking for a school who give importance to physical activity as much as they give to academics. My daughter will join to 5th class.

Looking for a school in and around Gachibowli area but not specific to Gachibowli . 

Your feedback will really help me
