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

Get a wfh job ... period. 
  
 Bangalore is overrated. 
  
 Better to move to noida...u will face less racism

Is this true Bangalore folks?

No, it's bullshit and highly exaggerated. And who the fuck earns 100 lpa?

Investment Associate

I am new to town and want to hang out with folks

Where do Techbro hang out in BLR?

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!

I am thinking switch for companies in BLR

What are some fast paced good tech opportunity companies to join for 3yoe Full stack engineer?

Be more brief, if its part time, full time, how are you managing time, do you earn from it, hobby or responsibility, etc

Folks doing side gigs, what are you doing?

Google map reviews. Have earned 500 so far. About to invest about 4L for a 8L return. 🥸

Everyone knows the org behind this, faces are captured on cameras but still these culprits are roaming free. That’s how democracy works!

Hooliganism

This happened in Mumbai too but 10-15 years back. All new people registered their vote in Mumbai and killed this regional thinking. 
  
 All people who want bangalore to succeed. Register in bangalore and vote for right candidate. 
  
 Not a party which doles out cash for vote.

Product Manager

Looking forward to connect with people in tech from Jammu doing wfh 
We can have a small meet-up around city

A good read for techies residing or planning to move to blr

You’ve probably heard more about Bangalore’s weather than you have about its crippling infrastructural issues. Therein lies the problem of what we demand and what we sell

What is adulting in blr ?

Hey all,

I recently moved to Blr, can someone suggest some websites where I can register for entrepreneurship related events, the goal is to get to meet fellow people from PM, UX, Analytics domain, gain insights and also network for creating potential opportunities for future work and employment.

Can someone suggest what to do?

Networking Events in Blr

I am a north indian myself, but I hate working for Gurgaon based companies/startups. Almost all of them has worst work culture and all of them low balls.

Blr tech >>> Gurgaon tech

Gurgaon companies lowballs

Ask any tech bro to work on Saturday and they will start crying about work life balance. FYI most professionals in India work on Saturdays. In India more than 90% folks are self employed. 

Lawyers, accountants, doctors, plumbers, carpenters, business owners all of them work on Saturdays. Your work life balance comes because you enjoy their services on Saturday and Sunday going around spending money and having fun. 

So not working on Saturday is a privilege and not a compulsion. 

On one side we are sad that companies lay us off and on the other side we want work life balance even at the cost of the growth. We despise anyone who creates wealth. 

Chal kya raha hai? Sabko startups mein bhi MNREGA scheme chahiye kya? Have some growth mindset folks. 

With so much work life balance you are just stuck in Manali traffic jam and Krishnagiri toll booth. 

Happy Traffic Christmas 🎁

Only tech Bros keep crying about work life balance!

Senior Software Engineer

I'm looking for someone who can teach me how to purchase crypto and keep it in a digital wallet.

Though I can watch tutorials , I feel confident when I interact with someone who is already good at this and gain some real life insights. 

I can pay for what you teach me 

Thanks in advance, I'll DM you.

Any crypto nerds in Blr?

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Founder

I recently moved to blr and I am looking to attend tech events during weekends, what is the best place to find such gatherings...
