It's better to move hyderabad, bcz the cost of living and climate and food is good here comparing to other city as per my experience

Hyderabad is hot af, how is the climate considered good? 
 Bangalore has no competition in terms of a good climate in major cities in India

Software Engineer

Nah bro. Since the past few years rain comes early here, around May end. Definitely not as hot as it used to be. April is the only super hot month.

Delhi NCR got 18% votes. Wow! 
 Seriously, with Nirbhaya, gun violence, winter smog, Yamuna froth, farmer blockades, illegal migrants, worst language, extreme weather, … 
  
 The list goes on and on..

Hyd, affordable living and great infrastructure

Product Manager

In coming years Noida will take over all the cities. 
 Pune is forever green no doubt in that Bengaluru has all sort of problems ranging from traffic, loneliness ,regionalism dont know how it got 27 % vote

Bangalore?!!!! 
 Seriously???!!!!! 
 LOL!!!!!!!!

Product Designer

Noida ahem ahem AQI bad water littering and dehatis

Except for the weather and real estate prices, mumbai is my pick. Bangalore just has jobs but quality of life and infra is pathetic. Even the government is promoting hooliganism. There's nothing to do during weekends except movies and mall hopping. Weather is worsening and pollution levels are rising too. Everything is damn expensive for very little worth. Many of the well known food places are overrated. Who deep fries dosas lol. Only old bangalore areas are worth living in. Delhi has safety and pollution issues. Never lived in Hyderabad so no idea about that.

Best in terms of quality of life, infrastructure, people around you, cost of living, pollution, weekend activities and overall living satisfaction.  PS: I live in Noida and I find it's one of the best

Which Tier-1 City is Best

Which Tier-1 City is Best- Grapevine

Today I watched a youtube video from OpenLetter having title: What destroyed Bengaluru? | Save Bengaluru | Open Letter
I have watched other youtube videos also saying that Banglore has a bad infrastructure, it has the shortage of water, it has very high cost of living etc.
While I find that for your IT career growth, Banglore is the best place. You have lots of opportunities here. Banglore has more educated people as compared to other IT HUb cities like Gurgaon or Noida (I live in Gurgaon right now). 
It's true that Banglore has bad traffic situation but are the youtubers exaggerating this or is this really true?
Is it true that Banglore has a bad infrastructure as compared to other cities of India?
While when I went to Banglore, I found it better than the other cities.

According to the EASE OF LIVING INDEX: Banglore is the most livable city in India but I have watched some videos from youtubers continously saying that Banglore has destroyed.

Background: I have always lived and worked across only Tier 1 cities of the country (was in a Tier 2 city for couple of years)
Though I love the ease and standard of living, the costs are insane. Plus all types of pollutants, lesser respect for humans

Suggest non Tier 1 cities which offer 
- house on rent to single women
- have electricity back up
- Swiggy/Zomato connectivity
- decent internet speed

Need city suggestions to move out of Tier 1

Which is better to place Delhi vs Noida.. coming from Gujarat

Delhi vs Noida

Analytics 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!

Planning to relocate from Bengaluru to Noida

Investor

I know a lot of companies are hiring for roles with competitive offers that are in sync with Bengaluru, Pune, Gurgaon, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Why not stay away from metros given the right opportunities? Would love to hear your thoughts.

What's stopping everyone from working in a Tier 2 or tier 3 city?

I like having lots of options in Swiggy Zomato and quick deliveries via Flipkart and Amazon.

Will be moving to Noida in July. What are the best sectors / societies to live in?

Good places to live in Noida

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

21M working from home as a SDE. I do live with my parents in a tier 3 city. Most of my time is just spent working on my desk. This is just depressing as I don't have many friends to hangout and even those I have are busy in their own life. I make good and can easily afford to go and live in a tier 1 city but will that be a good option leaving my parents and knowing most of my time would be spent indoors. What would you do if you were in my shoes.

How can I get out of my loneliness?

Frontend Engineer

I am a Delhi person who has been living in Bangalore for the last 3 years. I like both cities (both have pros and cons) but I feel in a 10-15 year time frame, both are going to become unsustainable with traffic, safety, rising costs, infra issues and weather/air conditions (for Delhi)

From a long term POV, which Indian City is going to be the best city to live in? (factors)
1. Career Opportunities (could be job or a business as well)
2. Good infrastructure 
3. Cleanliness and safety 
4. Connectivity
5. Weather and sustainability 
6. Living expenditure is average but has good quality of life


Which city will be the winner?

Long term city to live in?

Probably tier2 cities,  
 Indore, Jaipur, bhopal, nagpur, nashik. 
 I think the above problems are/will be there in pune too sooner or later

Product Owner

New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.

Why does this city instantly become water logged in 30 seconds of rain?

Probably because they built buildings where lakes provided natural refuge to rain water bro.

Disconnected from nature. Getting polluted and congested day by day  - what other option Mumbaikar have?

Is Mumbai liveable in future & worth buying a house more than 2cr ? Where else can one go apart from Bengaluru ?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Which tier 2 city needs to be upgraded to tier 1 city in your opinion

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

Done with Tier1 cities, moving to tier 2 town with family - A rant

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Why are tier 1 cities like Delhi and Bangalore more expensive than tier 2 cities??
What kind of facilities/opportunities does tier 1 city people enjoy??
Does tier 1 city people think of moving to tier 2/3 city??

Tier 1 city

Hey peeps, need comparison of these cities on the basis of the cost of living and ease of living.

Because for Maintaining lifestyle I think we should consider every aspect of expenditure.
And since the time I left Delhi ncr, i haven't had a chance to be in any city which has a closer or better public transport system.

P.S. on quora there are advocates for all 3 cities.

I need a fair opinion on this.

Pune vs Mumbai vs Bengaluru

Cybersecurity

I am planning to settle down in one particular city in the next  3 to 5 years. I am currently evaluating Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. 
From long term perspective ( for next 20 to 30 years) Which city will offer better job prospects ( IT/Software Development/Product Management/Strategy related jobs) along with a decent life style supported by satisfactory amenities like  Gated housing options which are not super expensive, Good schooling options for kids, Decent commuting facilities like Metro, wide roads etc. 
Interested to hear feedback from folks who went through or going through this dilemma.
