Hi,
I am 26 M, i moved to blr 2 years back after working from home for few months and getting bored. In the first few months I was very excited and energetic, I used to put effort in meeting new people, attending random meetups, going on dates but nothing turned into a meaningful strong connection and I also got busy with house hunting, shifting etc. and finally moved in a good society near hoodi, it's been a year and I realised I spent most of my time in the house only, there are hardly any sensible meetups happening and if it's happening either it's clashing with my work or i don't have enough courage to join. For example I don't know board games so I don't go to join them.
Also now I am busy with preparing for job switch which I feel has nothing to do with the location as interviews happen online and blr doesn't help in DSA or system design.
For personal growth i believe yes it helps in knowing people, learning human nature, improving communication etc.. but for professional??
The dating culture is also skewed, people having good looks/money or working in tier 1 company like Google Amazon gets out get matches from sensible girls rest of the girls are just there for free food on weekends.
So the question is living alone in blr really helps in growing professionally??
