Moving to Gurgaon from Bangalore

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?

Eh, as a Delhite, I didn't like Bangalore at all

I'm not sure about Gurgaon, tbh, but Delhi has got MUCH better roads, an actual proper public transport system and people who are actually nice to you? Like, I got back from Bangalore after 20 days and booked a cab from the airport to my home and the cabbie called and said "Madam, Mai khada hun idhar, koi na, aap aram se aao" and he said it so sweetly, I almost cried

Change us hard, you'll definitely have trouble adjusting, starting out from scratch at a new place is tough

There's nothing NCR doesn't have that Bangalore does, but I guess, you might miss the weather ¯_(ツ)_/¯

+1 , Delhi is worth living in. Gurgaon not so much. Try finding a place in Delhi from where the commute is easier imo. Metro zindabad.

Nothing to miss in Bangalore except the weather.

Fellow Delhite, completely agree

Most of my North Indian collegeues always prefer Gurgaon office over South Indian cities as it is closer to their house.

Also traffic for all it's shortcomings isnt as shitty as Bangalore. Atleast there are roads in Gurgaon.

Gurgaon is nice. Even better if you like actual change of seasons than 1 weather all through the year.
But you will have to endure a toxic relationship (literally: pullution), for 3-4 months every year. That's the only reason I wouldn't want to move back, especially now that I have a kid.

why do you think blr is relatively less polluted ?

Yeah that's actually inaccurate. Bangalore greenery has been cut and encroached upon, lakes are dirty af except for a few, AQI is bad on most days and the construction related pollution is just cherry on top.

Enjoy a daily dose of cheap booze in gurgaon and buildings with good infrastructure but weather is shitty and people are not trustworthy. Majority of the office junta you will find leaving at 7 and from 8 pm they will drink.

Personally didn't like the vibe much and it is costly than Bangalore as food is not like delhi in gurgaon. Costs are very high. Rental deposit is 1-2 months that you might like but traffic , pollution , weather and vibe is a big downer.

+1. Not lived for a long time but same feedback I get from people who went from Blr to Ggn.

Ultimately, depends on stage of life and where you have a social system already setup. All are trade-offs beyond that

Weather <> Traffic
High Deposit <> Low Deposit Techno <> Bollywood
Coffee <> Chai

Cops are lousy to outsiders everywhere. Speaking from experience in Delhi and Blr.

What is even “vibe”? I think people have started using this word like Squanchy uses squanch.

Gurgaon has surprisingly polite people, atleast in sector 24, and minimal electricity cuts as compared to HSR extension where every alternate day power cut, outside vegetarian food is also cheaper in gurgaon,

Note: I've grown up in Ahmedabad, and only lived in Bangalore for a month there are lot many things that I felt are worse in blr even compared to Ahmedabad.

BLR's only hyped up by corporate overloads vicious cycle.

Lived in Noida for a bit, the power cuts were horrible 😢. Everything else was 🤌

Never lived in noida, but from what the real estate troubles suggest, it was industrial land allocated near some canal, it doesn't have any soul per say,

Congratulations! On leaving that shit hole. Barring weather u'll find everything in gggn is better than bangalore. If you're not from North dont engage much with locals

Just avoid moving to Gurgaon if you are from South India. People lack of civic sense in NCR region. And also Delhi and Gurgaon are not safe and people are aggressive in nature.

Saari civic sense and calmness to sirf Bangaloreans ko hai. Know so many north Indians who've been harassed and beaten here.

Stay near metro and your life will be sorted for sure

Try to find flat in Sushant Lok - only standalone buildings though but calm area with good neighbourhood and connectivity

Or find something on golf course
Don’t move towards extension it’s still not safe

If you can travel try to find place near Chattarpur it’s cheaper by Delhi standards and have best connectivity and everything is nearby Gurgaon noida cp airport Hauz Khas

Just moved back from Bengaluru to ggn. Best decision you will ever make. Always live in a gated society, cabs don't cancel here, infra is much better and cheaper to use, weather sucks but well one can't have it all.

As a Delhiite in blr, you'll have the time of your life in NCR. The only con it has is the weather but everything else is perfect. You have so much more to do than just go to random bars and pubs every day. And the best part, it's so much cheaper to live there. Good luck on the move! :)

Which is better?

I am currently WFH, but looking for new opportunities. Since most of the companies are now demanding on site, which is better for better growth, savings and learning?

Gurgaon/ Noida or Bangalore??
