If you're a student or a fresher then it's good to interact with peers physically in office. Not that I'm saying its mandatory but would be good. So, if you're satisfied with the salary then don't think too much. Just keep going. 
 Once you reach 30 start looking for remote work and move back to a quiet tier 2 city. Or if you like Bangalore then settle there itself.

I am fresher a 23 years old. One suggestion i need whenever I see people in more big companies or doing some extra ordinary at my age in social media. I feel demotivated. What to do?

Good decision. People should always go out of their cocoon, go around the world, interact with people, face more challenges and learn and grow. Being a fresher and keep sitting at home with permanent work from home would never be advisable

I was having a work from home job. I got good offer from company in Bangalore. So I moved here by taking it. Was it a good decision or bad?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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.

Does it makes sense to be working from home in banglore

Background:
I have around 7 years of experience. Right now doing WFH from tier-2 city and staying with family (Married so wife + my parents). My current job is good but politics and bad manager came into picture. I applied to few jobs and got an offer.

Current Situation:
The offer I got is WFO (hybrid) from Bangalore so I need to move. Increment in terms of cash is 12.5% (they dont want to push more). RSU is good and they vest in 1 year directly.
I estimate that house I require near my office (Kadybeesanahalli) will cost around 50-60k and rest budget of 50-60k. So I will save around 1-1.5L (50% will go to MF, stock etc)

Question:
Is this a good decision to move and settle there ?
New org is a reputable one and has stable job as of now

Note: I am not including my wifes salary as she still needs to search a job

Is it a good idea to move cities right now

Data engineer

How's the current job market like according to you guys? More specifically in Bangalore. I recently got an offer from an upcoming digital commerce player. They're giving a 35% pay hike and the role is decent. I don't love it , I don't hate it either. My only issue is it's based out of Delhi, a city I'm not a big fan of. To give more context I've been born and raised in Delhi but I've been living away from home for 8 years now. It's a city thats familiar but comes with its down baggage. I find the people too aggressive and don't have much of a circle left there. Got laid off from the Bangalore startup I was working at some 3 months back. I have a decent runway but frankly it's not making too much sense to keep paying rent in Bangalore anymore. I keep oscillating between taking this offer and letting it go. Thoughts?

Should I accept the offer?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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.

Fresher with 10 LPA (Base) offer. Should I negotiate?

Hello, I have 5yoe at big4, currently working from my hometown. However recently I received an offer for a product company (pre-sales) which needs me to relocate to Bangalore. 
The hike is good 45% but considering the CoL I might just be saving 10-15k more per month than I do now. 

So, my question is, is it worth joining the product firm and relocate?

Move to Bangalore for slight pay increase?

Consultant

Hello,

My company has started Hybrid working model, I’m currently stay with my mom in my home town (7 to 8 hours from Bangalore by road).

Couple of my team mates are going to office, most of the colleagues are not.

Do you think I should move to BLR, considering like 2 weeks in Bangalore and 2 weeks in hometown.

Found a place in BLR which is like 18k per month.

Move to Bangalore  ?

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?

I got a decent hike and better job/brand. My current role is wfh until they call, but new role is in Mumbai. 

Initially I was not sure had a convo with parents whether to take it or not. After discussing all this, finally when I said I'm gonna accept my mom broke and started crying. (Cause I'll leave for mum then) 

In dilemma what to do? 
Not sure if right forum to ask 

She had her bypass surgery last year

Mom cried

Story of my life. Had an offer from Mumbai. Good enough hike and a profitable company. 
 Resigned from my previous job. Last day passed by.  
 My father had passed away due to covid and she would be alone when i left.  A day before i was going to leave, mom went into shock.  
 Had to reject the Mum offer and so I am now jobless, looking for opportunities near hometown.

Product Manager

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

Nah stay there only. Why relocate to Bangalore If you are earning a decent amount and living with your family happily.

With the cost of living skyrocketing in many Bengaluru, I've been considering a move to a more affordable area. BUT it would likely mean a pay cut. I'm torn between financial stability and quality of life. 

Has anyone else grappled with this decision? How did you weigh the pros and cons of relocating for a lower cost of living? Are there any creative solutions I'm not considering?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

What is your Salary and YOE ? Are you satisfied with the progress you have achieved so far ?

Satisfied with TC ?

I know a lot of people love working from home. But small rant here. 
Honestly, straight out of college I thought I would do too. But no, I absolutely do not.

Why? 
1. No personality development. It's honestly like an online college all over again (1/2 of my college "life" was online). I talk to a screen, waste a lot of time otherwise. 

2. I don't have a room to call my own. I know this is going to make me sound like a privileged brat but I need my privacy to feel my full confident self. My family members are always on top of my head and spy on me during work. No they really do.

3. I hate, absolutely LOATHE approaching people on teams. I'm more social, confident and comfortable working in an offline setting be it presenting something or talking to senior folks in general. 

4. I have NO life outside of the computer/home. My hobbies, interests everything are inside the tiny room I share with my parents. I still have 2 different desks (which are literally next to each other) for work and personal stuff respectively. When I had offline semesters, it was really awesome as I had balance.

I graduated in 2023 and of course I have a lot to learn, but I'm seriously thinking about searching for another job that's not WFH. I'm still early career and I think I should not be working remote. Am I stupid?

I cannot work remotely.

Work from home is hellish for extroverts. There is no alternative. I've tried co-working spaces. But nothing beats the actual office experience. 
  
 If you're young, go to office and build your network.

Product Marketing Manager

Account Manager

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! 🙏🏻

Project Manager

Hey folks, I recently moved to Bangalore for a role at angel one and I am not liking the city. All my life I lived and worked in NCR and I’ve realised that me and my wife can’t live anywhere outside NCR. No friends in Blr plus far away from home plus its just too expensive. 

Want to move back, I am looking for product rolesin NCR(SPM,GPM). Can someone help here with a referral? I have a very strong fintech background but can’t find anything for Ncr location on other platforms. 

TIA

Want to move back to NCR

Senior Product Manager

So bit of context here. I am a 25 year old Male. Moved to bangalore after 2 years of wfh. Stayed there for a year. Got fed up of my job and toxic workplace tendencies so wanted to resign. Dad had been doing a startup for a bit and he felt I was ready to be useful so he asked me to come. I felt it would good for my career so I moved back. 6 months in I feel mentally drained, and all my limited excitement I feel in life are for the small trips I manage to do where I meet some of my college friends/girlfriend. I had read takes online from people that if I had a chance I would leave everything and be at home with parents, but I just dont feel this way. I love my parents a lot but I just dont feel too much anymore. I dont feel like oh I am so lucky I get to spend so much time with my mother. All of my childhood friends from my city have moved to the US. I have 2 friends(not very close but decent) who I meet sometimes, so life is all about waking up, going to office, coming home and calling my long distance girlfriend (who was with me in Bangalore) and falling asleep with 2/3 hours here and there. I rarely have plans. I feel like I am doing something wrong but I cant pinpoint what. How can I passionately want to spend more time with my parents? I just don’t get it from within. Do I really have to work and find new close friends in the city. People at work keep a bit of distance because my dad is the founder. Anyone with any advice?

Struggling to feel excited after moving back home. Can anyone help?

I am a fresher, and from non technical background. I am getting a internship, they are offering me remote with stipend but I am insisting with wfo, the stipend is 25K. But I badly want to move to bangalore, just so I can learn more and make connections. But seeing all posts of high cost of living. I’m now confused.

Badly want to move Bangalore

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 was having a work from home job. I got good offer from company in Bangalore. So I moved here by taking it. Was it a good decision or bad?
