Bangalore's infra has been crumbling under the weight of its population growth. I believe that yesterday's traffic jam was just a trailer and situation will only worsen with time. 

Seriously contemplating moving out of Bangalore after being here for last 5 years. 

People who moved out, where did you move? And are you happy now with your decision ?

People who moved out of Bangalore, which city did you move to ?

PUNE✌🏻 
 much peaceful compared to Bangalore and work culture is way better than my experiences in Bangalore.  
 Festival celebrations are just amazing and no bad experiences since past 1.5 yr 
 Congestion is piling up this city just like BLR, as a lot of tech companies are gearing up for new offices and new tech parks are already under construction - specifically KHARADI area and they say almost 1.5 lac IT jobs will open up in the next 3-4 years.  
 Traffic woes are same,but again depends on the which part you stay - as we have similar deadlock junctions in Pune as well, if compared to BLR.

I have 9+ years of experience in Software Development and Managing teams at scale. I’m in Bengaluru from last 5 years and before that I was in Mumbai for 4 years.

Now I’m planning to relocate to Noida, due to following reasons:
- Want to stay relatively nearer to my home town(UP)
- Want to be accessible for my family and relatives, when they need me the most
- Want to enjoy North Indian aspect of living
- Want my kid to raise in North Indian environment 

I need suggestions in two things

- Does Noida is a right choice considering my home town is in UP?
- Which Noida sector is developed, have better infrastructure and all the basic necessities are nearby?
- Which companies pay almost in similar range comparatively to Bengaluru or Hyderabad? 
- Any other thing that I should be aware of?

Thanks for the help!

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

How you guys are spending this weekend? 

For me, I am traveling, so spending some time at airport. Amazed to see volume of passengers even in a Tier2 city, for sure boost to indigo top line😯

Weekends for GVers

I know a lot of companies are hiring for roles with competitive offers that are in sync with Bengaluru, Pune, Gurgaon, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Why not stay away from metros given the right opportunities? Would love to hear your thoughts.

What's stopping everyone from working in a Tier 2 or tier 3 city?

I like having lots of options in Swiggy Zomato and quick deliveries via Flipkart and Amazon.

Hello everyone, I've been experiencing a challenging situation at my company. Over the past month, we've seen a series of weekly terminations among my team members. The rationale provided is a lack of funds and available projects. This ongoing scenario has taken a toll on my mental well-being, leaving me feeling quite unsettled. If anyone is aware of companies with current job openings, or if you could potentially refer me to such opportunities, I would greatly appreciate it. I come with two years of experience in React and React Native, and I'm actively seeking new opportunities. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

I have been working from mountains and it has been a very good experience. I am here since last 13days no internet issue and mobile data is also fast enough. 

I got a tiffin arrangement as well. I am from Noida and before moving to mountains for a longer time just experimenting different areas of Uttarakhand and recently I am at Mukteshwar. 

Those thinking about my office: I have permanent WFH remote first company.

Thread: What's the most memorable city/country you've traveled to? 🛫

People have this weird notion that Delhi/Gurgaon isn't safe and that the folks here are as warm as an ice cube in Antarctica. Can you believe that? This narrative has been doing the rounds for so long that it's starting to affect the migration of people to this part of the world. But let me set the record straight.

Gurgaon is the real deal. It's the city with good infrastructure and a welcoming vibe for migrants. It's like the cool kid at the party, while Bangalore has a little something called the Bangalore police. Now, these folks, they've got a unique way of welcoming North Indians – by demanding money when they hear you speaking Hindi. Yes, you heard that right.

I've had not one but two laughable encounters with them. Picture this: I'm just out for a casual late-night walk at 11 PM (because who needs sleep, right?), and out pops Mr. Constable, asking for his "fee" and insisting it's against the law to stroll around at that hour. And guess what? I'm not the only one in this comedy club. Hundreds of people have taken to Twitter to share their own hilarious stories.

Now, let's switch gears and talk about Gurgaon. It's got the smooth roads, a fast track to the airport, and apartments where you don't need to sacrifice your life savings as a deposit. It's the practical choice for newcomers.

So, in a nutshell, let's keep challenging these stereotypes and celebrate the positives of each city. Gurgaon, you're the real MVP, and Bangalore, maybe it's time for you to rethink your police's comedy night. City rivalries – always good for a chuckle!

Great to see Delhi NCR people fighting the forced narratives of North vs South

Kaun se bubble me ho student? Golf course road pe rehte ho aur kaam karte ho / college jaate ho? 
  
 Reminds me of Vir Das. I live in 2 Gurgaons. One which has smooth roads, and other where people can’t even walk. 
  
 And yes - people here are arrogant, with zero civic sense - though that’s true for most cities in India, but def worse than Mumbai (stayed there for 10 years, hence can see the difference clearly). 
  
 Let’s not even talk about the air quality, extreme heat and cold (subjective, I know). 
 Traffic post pandemic is not smooth either. In fact people drive extremely bad, and carry a lot of ego while on the road. 
  
 Couple of good things: 
 1. Proximity to airport 
 2. Size of houses 
  
 PS : staying here for the past 4 years.
