Why is Chennai not a preferred job location?

I have recently moved to Chennai and feel that city is very underrated. It has much better infrastructure as compared to other major cities. Also, lesser traffic. Language issue is much overhyped.

I lived for 6 months, for an internship. Also college was nearby so, it was always the first city.
I am from delhi, going to Chennai was one of the best choices I made.
I also learnt basic tamil, which is also a great experience and it just makes native people like you 100x more

-Horrible weather. -Local shop keepers dont even understand basic maths in English . -Limited scope of pan-indian cuisines as compared to Bangalore, Hyderabad,Delhi and Mumbai .

I kind of like Chennai for everything except for it's hot climate. That applies to my hometown, and summer time of Bangalore as well

For most part of the year from August to Feb, climate is better than Delhi/Mumbai.

I had been to UP and Delhi, and those were the worst days of my life 😂

Mumbai - I haven't been there except inside the airport, but I would avoid Mumbai as well.

As a North Indian, I can say that the food is shit there, the weather is shit, language barrier is huge, cost of living is too damn high given the quality you can get with the same money in let say noida, and I have faced blatant discrimination there, so , definitely a shit place
