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

The Devil’s Advocate: Bangalore’s infrastructural problems routinely expose its own myth

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The city's civic challenges may impact India's IT industry landscape, compelling companies to explore emerging cities.

India looks for new Bengalurus as its Silicon Valley goes downhill

If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.

Area: Near Indiranagar, Domlur, Embassy Golf View or areas which come near Purple Line i.e. Kadugodi, HopeFarm, Hoodi, Kundalahalli, SeetharamPalya.

Would really appreciate it if you could give suggestions, provide any sort of leads or even share your experience.

Why Bengaluru is best place for Tech-Bros?🧐

Product Manager

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)?

Shifting to Bengaluru

Application Analyst

I moved to Bangalore earlier this year. Like the weather, like the people, like the breweries. All good. 
But what is even up with the Bandhs that happen in this place? I feel like there have been at least 5 since I moved in. 

For being India's "Silicon Valley", just these disruptions in operations are not very good. For the pure tech companies, it's not too bad. But when trying to execute something operational in nature, it's much much more tougher. 

For the larger companies, they have learnings and experiences across covid etc, and have a larger #operating partners who can help them out in cases of downtime. The smaller ones are caught figuring out.

Of course, in some way it's not a very big deal. We've learnt from worse times. But it's just that I've not seen this happening as much in Mumbai/Delhi.  

What's up with the Bandhs of Bangalore? 🤔

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

You got an job offer letter in 2023 and was asked to choose between Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Where do you go ?

Hyderabad.  
  
 Bangalore is crumbling and it's just a pain to step out for anything. It's extremely dirty, full of potholes way worse than other cities, and overrated "startup culture". Go to hyd and live a slightly better life.

Machine Learning Engineer

I will be relocating near Google's BCPC office , 
Can any one pls help to get a flat/PG

Living in Mumbai for the past few years. Planning to move to Bangalore. Which is a good area to settle in? Should have less traffic, no water shortage and good metro connectivity.

Thinking of moving to Bangalore

Came to blr for the first time. And I was greeted with traffic jam. Blr is so far behind on basic city infrastructure. Imo even Kolkata has better roadways and connectivity. 
But the Bengaluri metro is impressive.

(Also why is the airport outside the city?)

Bangalore traffic

I know the entire city is a tech town but I want to know where I can live with affordable rents or PG and have everything near my office or flat. I specially want to meet bright minded people who have started their own companies and building something. Hackathons and events in Bangalore where can I get all these things. Fun groups and clubs.

This water shortage thing in Bangalore is pretty depressing.

There is an extreme shortage of water but no one on this planet seems serious about it. People are busy making memes around it , poking political parties , blaming the government. The government is blaming other governments and that's it.

Imagine there were 280 lakes in the city now there are only 15. Imagine once Lalbagh and cubbon park were connected and there were elephants living there.

How can a random land mafia dry up the lake and build stupid buildings illegally purely for their profits? They will profit from it but whose resources they took? Nature's resources that were meant for everyone.

That land mafia must be chilling in Atlantis hotel in the rooftop swimming pool and here we are drying up.

In the end , only the one sitting at the top would benefit from it and the one who will suffer is common person and they are still not realising how badly they will suffer in future.

If you don't have water what are you going to drink? 500 2000 notes smoothie? No amount of money can give water. These land mafias and politicians will import fresh water for their families to drink after depleting Indian resources. What are you going to do ?

And then this government brings  CAA law to bring more people to our country where the existing citizens don't have enough resources.

WAKE UP SAVE INDIA FROM POLITICIANS. 

Anyway , this is not a propaganda post against any political party because all parties are at the end corrupted, they will exploit everything to make money and then safeguard their family by sending them in foreign countries. The one who will suffer is us.

People are not serious about Bangalore's condition. A rant post.

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

Planning on moving to Banglore from Bombay,pretty confused. Peeps who moved to Banglore recently need some thoughts around how it's turning out for you?

Moving to Banglore

Hi Folks,

My office is in Bellandur. I am planning to rent a 1bhk but the rates at Bellandur are absurd.(28k -30k)
Any recommendations which area should I look for properties. Have heard a lot about Bangalore traffic and dont want to travel much.

Account Manager

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon.

1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place.

2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted.

3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 

4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol.

It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.

Living in Gurgaon makes living in BLR seem like heaven

Gurgaon folks: don't move to Bengaluru  
 Bengaluru folks: don't move to Gurgaon

Consultant

Hi grapeviners!!

I'm looking for a 2 BHK semi-furnished flat under Rs 30000. Since, I am working in a completely remote job, I don't mind staying far away from IT hubs like Bellandur, HSR layout, Indiranagar.

Must have -
 
1. gated community but not necessarily as big as Sobha, Godrej, Prestige
2. surrounding areas should be green, wide roads with very minimal traffic
3. 1 or more balconies
4. 1 car parking

Nice to have -  
1. Modern design; most flats that I have seen online are very archaic and dull
2. fully-furnished
3. situated in prime areas that are close to hotspots like clubs, cafes etc


Thanks in advance!
