You can still try South or West Delhi, decent options. Delhi has more things to do and places to go than gurgaon.

If you don't need to stay anywhere else due to any kind of compulsions eg family, etc. always stay near your office esp. if you need to be in office more than 3 days a week. You save a ton in resources, time,  money, effort etc.

Our jobs requires us to move to a different location almost every few years. Considering this fact, how do folks here decided where to buy their permanent home?

I used to live in Gurgaon before covid. I've been working remotely since then. In the long run, I don't see myself working from home all the time. I may move to work in a hybrid setup. I had always observed that there are not a lot of opportunities in Gurgaon comparing with Hyderabad or Bangalore.

Moreover, I don't like big & crowded places. I don't see myself living in these metro cities in the long run.

Where to buy a house permanently?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently got an offer and am planning to move to Gurgaon. I was trying to find an opportunity in Bangalore because I love this place, or maybe it’s just change I detest. But nothing worked out and here I am. 
Has anyone made the same move? Or maybe vice versa? Which place do you think is better and why?

Moving to Gurgaon from Bangalore

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.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hey all

Based on the medical conditions of my family, I'm in serious need of shifting to a hybrid setup asap.

I'm a data science/analyst/engineer fresher from 2024 batch and have a 12LPA campus placement in Bangalore. 

I'm from a tier 2 North Indian city, but wfh will possibly limit my growth given how I'm just starting out. So I'm looking for hybrid options, preferably in Gurgaon so traveling is easy. Any leads?

Is Gurgaon a good place to work?

Consultant

I am thinking of moving to Delhi from Noida in the coming 2 months, I am also scared of this transition for some reason. My reason behind moving to Delhi is my WFH job, I want to be near parks and places where i can go and work and also be close to Gurgaon and the airport. Can you guys suggest some nice localities to look out for a 1 BHK. I want to be somewhere between Hauz Khas and Vasant kunj.

My budget is max 15k

Moving to Delhi, where should i stay?

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?

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

I am currently in the interview stages of a company in the payments domain.

I always wanted to work in this domain due to the nature of the work and I assume working in fintech gives you exposure for better future opportunities.

However, they are completely on site and I will have to travel 1.5-2 hrs daily one way (4 in total) 5 days a week.

Has anyone faced the same kind of dilemma and how have you decided on it?

I am also interviewing for remote companies but they are not part of the payment domain.

Role: Senior (5+ years)

Is it worth travelling 4 hours daily for a company?

Hybrid setup leads

I work as a project manager for an international company. They’re planning to put an office in Delhi in the next 2-3 months. Currently I work fully remote, they’re hinting at me going on-site in Delhi cause they want me to take up a leadership position. 

I am born and brought up in Mumbai, living in Bangalore for about 2 years. I absolutely love Bangalore and I’m not that keen on moving. 

Is there someone who’s moved to Delhi? How’s the experience been for you? What can I expect?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been in a rewarding career in Chennai for about a decade. Came in as a fresher but now married and have 2 kids. Have an option to move to Noida now. Given cultural differences, elder kid now finds it difficult to adjust at school. Elderly parents dont find the weather and neighbors friendly enough to live with me  for more than a month. Remain stuck in the apartment. 
People who have lived both in Chennai and Noida, please share your experiences on a cost of living and future career options in NCR perspective.

North Indian in Chennai, option to move to Noida, should one take it?

Quality Manager

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.

Founding Engineer

Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good. 

But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city. 

Some cons: 

- Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city 
- Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere 
- You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better. 

- Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive 

- Alcohol is expensive. 

- Good food is expensive 

The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country. 

I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight. 

I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends. 

Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them. 

Adios!

Leaving Blr in 4 months- Rant

Senior Product Manager

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!
