Most of the orgs are WFO, if you're happy with WFH then don't go for a change. 

Agree with @FlyingRaijin , markets are going to get really bad in next few quarters before they get better.

It is easier to get spotted by recruiters

I have been living in Bangalore for a month now after having 2 years of WFH. Wanted to switch for a job but have no guidance as to how should I do it. No results from hiring websites yet.

Is it easier to switch jobs in Bangalore than WFH?

Is it easier to switch jobs in Bangalore than WFH?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am currently WFH, but looking for new opportunities.
Since most of the companies are now demanding on site, which is better for better growth, savings and learning?

Gurgaon/ Noida or Bangalore??

Current Experience ~ 2 years

Which is better?

Is it a good time for early in career(1.5 YoE) to join Google India. I am curious about their current culture like WFH policies, management outlook, direction of company, growth opportunity etc in Bangalore offices only.

What can you tell as an insider to someone on the outside looking at Google for possible next switch.

Also, are there opportunities to shift from Bangalore to other location outside India?

Folks at GoogleIndia, what can you share?

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

Senior Consultant

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.

Hi I moved to Dubai from Bangalore 3.5 years back. I have total 5.5 years of experience as Software Engineer. 
Is it worth coming back to Bangalore now? 
If yes, why and how much salary I can expect based upon my experience?
If no why?
At that time I was earning 24lpa. I have always worked in startups and would prefer to work in same.

Returning back to India from Dubai

I have been doing WFH for the last 3 years from my hometown. Before that i was in Bangalore(YOE:5). Now i am kind of bored, doing the same activity daily, visiting the same places on weekends. 

Thinking of relocating for short-term(1-2 months) somewhere, budget 20-25k monthly, not so lonely place. Suggest some places, internet is a top priority. If i liked the place, I can extend my stay.

~50LPA, Remote, Where should i relocate?

I got a job opportunity from HDFC bank. The job expects me to shift to Mumbai from Bangalore WFH currently. The pay is 30LPA  is it worth considering it according to the cost of living in Mumbai ? Seriously heard it's very costly not been there. And currently I'm working in a Consulting firm is it the right move to consider. Will it be good for my career ?

By the way it's going to be my 3 switch in 5 years just looking to settle where there stability and no layoffs 

Please advise is it worth considering an Indian private bank

Career Advice

Data engineer

I know this is not what majority of people like to listen, but for people coming from other cities with no friends and poor social skills, working remote or hybrid starts taking a toll on your mental health. 

The isolation it brings is so overwhelming. You feel trapped and frustrated, when there's no one to talk to.

Sometimes, I feel the quality of life of our kind of lower than street vendors at least they have people they can talk to. I just hate the way we are wired to be social animals yet find it overly difficult to connect with people.

Unpopular Opinion: I prefer Work from Office

If you are early stage of your career if you don't have responsibility at home you should come to office it's a healthy approach but for people like me who has already spend more than a decade in office life and has a small child at home working for home is like a saviour for me and my wife

Looking for HR recuiter job

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  ?

Hello boys, gals and all other pals!

I am switching jobs rn and I have offers from a European auto anc in Bengaluru and one in Chennai.

Ceteris paribus, I wanted to know how much of a difference does being in Bengaluru make interms of future job opportunities

Are there a lot of walk-in interviews for companies based out of there, job fairs etc? Is there a subconscious or otherwise preference for candidates already based out of Bengaluru?

Also, how is Bengaluru in general for a 24M, single, introvert whose daily non-work activities include going to the gym, reading boatloads of stuff and watching sports?

Thanks in advance for the replies

What are the pros of moving to Bengaluru(24M)?

Embedded Engineer

What Companies are offering complete WFH/Hybrid in Bengaluru.

I wanted to know from fellow grapeviners, how are you guys looking to switch jobs or have done so already in recent few weeks/months. What is your go to strategy that you follow to get your next job offer, also how do you verify if the role would be a good fit for you?

Since the market is inclined towards folks with 5years or more experience for jobs in West/remote. Even in Bangalore many are looking mostly for 3+yrs experience.

If you are early in career(<3 years exp) then do tell. Experienced folks can also suggest.

How are you switching jobs?

I'm a resident of Karnataka, I'm unemployed currently, i thought I would get offers in Bangalore (still giving interviews). This gurgaon offer came along. They want me to do the hybrid model to the gurgaon office. Not sure what to do.

Exp; 5 
CTC: 23, 20 base + bonus

Should I move to gurgaon from Bangalore? They're offering 20 base.

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

UX/UI Designer

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

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.
