Moving in banglore

I am moving in banglore and will be earning plenty, around 1.6 lakhs per month. But some friends are suggesting me to book a pg for some days until you find the perfect apartment with good flatmates. I don't want to live alone in 1bhk flat. It will be my first time on a onsite job. Please guide me how can I mange this. Company is giving me first 2 weeks of hotel stay

If you’re living by yourself for the first time then its helpful to share with another person. Even though you might not interact a lot but its always good from a safety, and social pov. However another issue is that person needs to match your mindset somewhat. There are people who keep records of 1 rupee payment, get annoyed if you have friends over. Not judging them bcos everyone has their own budget and privacy. However when choosing your flatmate - openly discuss all requirements related to finances, visitors, if they’re comfortable with bf/gf over, veg-non veg, timings, help around the house and hygiene (Ive seen people refusing to empty the kitchen bin for days bcos the maid wasn’t there). In the end considering all these factors, people prefer to live by themselves 😂

Congratulations bro and tech stack? Don't worry about the house. Just go to Flat and Flatmates group Bangalore and write your needs.

1 month in PG ain't a bad advice. You get a hang of the area, traffic and scout our flats with lower deposits.

Don't get too comfortable in PG and remember that you will be spending 20k/pm on flat later on. I have teammates who are making 2.5l/pm and living in 14k/pm PG coz flats are 'too expensive'.

Also, 1.6lpm doesn't go as far in Bangalore as it would in NCR. Heads up.
