I work as a project manager for an international company. They’re planning to put an office in Delhi in the next 2-3 months. Currently I work fully remote, they’re hinting at me going on-site in Delhi cause they want me to take up a leadership position.
I am born and brought up in Mumbai, living in Bangalore for about 2 years. I absolutely love Bangalore and I’m not that keen on moving.
Is there someone who’s moved to Delhi? How’s the experience been for you? What can I expect?
Yes experience will be great. nCr will be as humid as mumbai and even hotter. Other than that dont get involved in road rage. U'll be fine
You'll have to switch to samosas from Vada pav and chole bhature from pav bhaji.
Well, maybe not. You can get Vada pav and most definitely pav bhaji also on the streets nowadays in Delhi NCR. Vada pav in specific places though. Good ones are hard to find or are too expensive.
If you have to ask, don't come. It is your privilege "i will switch " capacity which gives you enough nerve to ask how a city is to work. I was 21, for 15k i had to live in remote town of rajasthan, with just a fan n light, and that's all i was told before going there and i said yes. Naukri hai to nakhra kis bat ka. In that town even adult boys were not allowed to wear shorts. I never complained. They sounded rude but were never. Helpful and determined. Not cunning. If you dont want to come you will find an excuse. If you want to come to delhi, u will find and excuse. Simple.
Well said 👍🏻
But still I think, asking on Grapevine can be a right choice to know how it is. Especially when they're moving for work as there are mostly working professionals here.
I lived in Mumbai for 17 years, and moved to Delhi for studies and tbh Delhi isn't that transportation friendly imo. Mumbai has local trains which are quite fast and cheap, autos and taxis operate as per the meter. But in Delhi everyone's there to scoop extra cash out of you. Everything's just expensive and straightup has less value for money...
It's been 4 years and I seriously want to move back to Mumbai as I can't live anymore in this awfully expensive place for bachelors.
Mate Delhi has an exceptional public transit, what are you even talking about.
Move to gurgaon better daru, crowd, get metro card, get used to much much more people, scam are everywhere but manageable, get good people around
How's the current job market like according to you guys? More specifically in Bangalore. I recently got an offer from an upcoming digital commerce player. They're giving a 35% pay hike and the role is decent. I don't love it , I don't ha...
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 m...
I have spent most of my working life (about 17 years) in Pune barring a few years outside India for an onsite assignment.
During the initial phase of my career I was always desperate to relocate to NCR which is close to my hometown, say...
If so, why?
(I am doing so because going back home and living with parents sounds a bit depressing.)
Hi all,
Need advice. I am moving to Bangalore (electronic city) from Delhi. Tell me must haves for packing stuff and everything else, any do’s and don’t. I am curious to know all the little details that you can share w/ me.
Thanks.
