TIL: you’ve to hire agents to get admission in top schools of Mumbai

and at what family income? Family in question here is in their late thirties with an 8 to kid and a 68 yo father. Will be leaving behind a comfortable own house in a city with no growth. Husband and wife are into VC and Media industries.

One of my team member said that he is paying ~2L per year as the fees for his child who's in 4th standard now, in Bengaluru. It's a CBSE school and is based out of Bengaluru. He pays additional for uniform, books, transport, etc. They also kind of want a well educated mom, but she shouldn't be working as there needs to be someone to take care of the children all the time. Although I studied in an private engineering college (but one of the best in the state), it costed only around ~2,50,000 for everything across 4 years (2021 grad) What the hell are they teaching over there? 💁🏻‍♂️ He also shared a few instances where parents are paying almost 6-10 lakhs for class 11 & 12 (coaching oriented). And then, of some who are paying ~25 Lakhs for B.Tech admission. I don't know where the world is going 🤯 I would like to understand the opinions of those who are reading this.

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month. Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own. Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

IIMboacki 2y or 1y package is less than masters union 1y course!!! Do u agree or have any perspective?

I was talking to a colleague at office and got shocked to hear that he is paying around 5 lakhs per annum for his 4 year old kid who just goes to a play school. Looks like there has been major inflation in education and I've been out of touch of this. I remember even top private schools having max monthly fees around 5k some 10 years back. Folks with kids in Bangalore, how are you managing your child's education and how much do you spend on it? Are there any cheap alternatives like KV/govt schools? Also, with education getting so expensive it would definitely act as a deterrent for couples to have kids !

So my sibling is about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science from a T2 college in a few months and wants to now do MS in the US because of three reasons: 1. Low levels of violence against women(Sexual Assault) [IMPORTANT!!] 2. Want to do innovative work in the US instead of working on copycat products in India 3. Ambition of living in the US long term because of free-er culture But my parents have flat out refused to fund the education or even help her with a loan due to regressive mentality (nahi jaana baahar, 2-3 saal kaam karo aur shaadi karo chup chaap) She has accepted a job offer for now and will make 14L/year. What are her options? Should she drop the idea of MS abroad?

Can someone please help with the breakup for this? For eg currently I make 85k in wfh, i am getting in mumbai at 18 lpa fixed. I was trying to estimate in terms of monetory will it be a benefit

What should be the ideal salary range after four years of mba.
