Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good.
But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city.
Some cons:
- Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city
- Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere
- You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better.
- Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive
- Alcohol is expensive.
- Good food is expensive
The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country.
I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight.
I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends.
Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them.
Adios!
