Working in Bay Area- Grapevine

Curious to know how work differs from different tier cities!

Tell me how different is it, if you've recently moved to Bengaluru from any lower tier cities.

How different is it working outside of Bengaluru??

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have been in the startup industry for a decade now, in multiple roles.
I see a start difference in the general culture between these 3 cities. I myself behave very differently on the basis of where I am, maybe because of peers/friends in these cities. 
Can you guys objectively line out the differences you see? Can be anything like the idea of chilling out OR how people perceive salary OR loyalty OR work commute OR discretionary spending OR luxury brands affinity.

Growth Manager

Hey folks, one good opportunity is approaching, but it requires me to move to Banglore. The current situation is not great I know and shifting to a different state is altogether hustle. The only good thing is the big package. 
Need neutral suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Relocating to Banglore

Operations Manager

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

Hello folks. Got a nice 4 day office role in Hyderabad as a SPM, have been working remotely till now in BLR. I was laid off and interviewing for past couple of month being very picky wrt culture and domain etc. Is it wise moving to Hyderabad (Hitech city/Gachibowli) - when I've been in BLR since a couple of decades now with family?

Need help!

BLR to HYD??

Tech lead

Looking for a switch in NCR and the opportunities are so bloody limited here! Just a rant!!! Why can’t companies open offices in Gurgaon/Noida! Are there benefits being provided by state gov to open offices in Blr? Am sick.

Why the hell are all the jobs in Blr/Mumbai!!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Everyone knows the org behind this, faces are captured on cameras but still these culprits are roaming free. That’s how democracy works!

Hooliganism

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'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?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

How's the pay for analysts in banks like Citi, HSBC, IDFC etc? 

My "assumption" is they have a better work life balance compared to start-ups (I work in one - CTC being 28lpa - almost 4 YOE). 

Why am I asking? 
Looking at how things are going on at BLR, I'm planning to someday switch to company with work from home and  better work life balance.

Software Developer

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

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!
