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 ?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Which offer is better and why? 

Pune:
CTC: 20+ variable(no clarity on variable)
Company: Startup with 1 year hike cycle (bare minimum hike)
Company Size: More than 120
Reporting to: Business Head
Role: Core BD with slightly overlap of cross functional 
Stability: Slightly more than Bangalore one(I would say 1% more since they slightly work as lala company)

Bangalore:
CTC: 22 +12(Esops)
Company: Startup with 6 month hike cycle 
Company Size: Around 30
Reporting to: Founders
Role: Set up and lead the entire Business and cross functional roles(cr.functional offer better learning and growth tooo)
Stability: OK than Pune

Both the company are startups and in terms of stability the Pune one holds higher stability at company level(I would say 1% more than Bangalore) but since its sales roles so I think it doesn't matter. (as per LinkedIn the avg duration of sales folks is 11 month in Pune company)

Which offer is better in terms of growth prospect and considering that you want to move to higher role in the future or may be start again in future ?

Pune Vs Bangalore

Founder

Let's face it, bangalore is expensive, in terms of value for money. 
There are so many infrastructure issues.  Travel issues etc

But at the same time, Bangalore is the major leagues for tech in India. 
Events, meetups, startups all are prevalent mostly in Bangalore.

Given all this, and having a choice on where you wanna stay, what would you choose?
1. Bangalore
2. Other city?
3. Lead Nomadic life, Travel around city to city,  state to state, country to country?

Given a choice that you can stay anywhere,  would you choose Bangalore?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I'm a software engineer and have been living in Bangalore for over 3 years now and thinking of starting a family and settling at either Bangalore or Delhi NCR. 

I have seen the disaster infrastructure Bangalore has plus the very high cost of living and hence thinking of moving to Delhi NCR. 

Please give your inputs

Bangalore or Delhi NCR?

He folks, I work at service based company. Due to client requirements I'm being called to Bangalore for on-site opportunity. Should I really move from Pune to Bangalore  keeping my 45K Salary into consideration.

Which is your favourite city in India and why?
Collecting inputs to decide where to try and spend the next 10 years of my life. 
The cost of living will not be the deciding factor, but the quality of life will be! 🙂

(Ps. focusing on tier 1 cities only)

My details: 
- Female, 30, Single
- I like to party one weekend a month 
- and spend the rest of the weekends sleeping, binge watching OTT, painting and cleaning my home
- can learn different languages quickly (at least the basics) 
- I like peace and serenity as much as I like the city lights and hustle. Need them both 🤓

Should I move ahead to Bangalore and start a new life there considering it is a hub for IT industries, especially Product based companies and my aspiration is to be among top Product companies as a software developer.

We are a digital marketing agency focused on helping startups (funded). We are currently remote with the team spread across the country.

I'm contemplating moving base to Bangalore - a lot of folks say that Bangalore is the place to be for my business. 

Need some real advice, would me being physically present in Bangalore help my business? 

Do startups prefer Bangalore based agencies vs other city/remote agencies?
