I'm a resident of Rajasthan by birth. In july this year, I've joined a startup as SWE Intern at Bengaluru. Being from a college even below than tier-3 ones & still getting an offcampus internship+PPO(13LPA, 7 BASE) was really a good thing for me.
The internship duration is 12 months & after that there will be a performance review & then it'll be decided whether I'll be converted to a FTE or not.
But tbh I'm not liking bengaluru at all, language barrier, totally different food is making it tough to survive for long here.
I'm sure that at least for 3 months I'm gonna do this internship for experience purpose & after that I'm thinking to apply in other companies in the northern side of india so that I can be close to my hometown also & there will be no language barrier & food issues.
What would you have done if you were in my place?
Go where you like bro, but tbh learning to live in different parts of India is also a valuable skill one should have.
It's not that hard to learn basic kannada words, food you can also cook yourself if you know how. Bangalore has decent options too otherwise.
Baat to sahi hai ye bhi.
I had the same feeling when I first joined in jamshedpur. Being a South India the culture shock was enormous. Traveled by train, once you cross into orrisa border , all you come across in jungle. Never had bhindi and potato combination. Durga Puja Chanda is a harrasment. They will set the rate and you have to pay up.
India is a collection of many cultures, unless there is support system it's very terrifying. If not itsl takes time to settle down. iMO atleast 1 year for the strong heart,
Got it, Thank you! :)
Wha makes You think that this startup will let. You go after 3 months... You exp letter and everything will be with them..... My advice is either take A gamble or let it go...
It's not about the exp. letter or something that I want from them. It's just the industry working experience which I'm gaining everyday that I'm looking for.
Whether they give me exp. letter or not, how does it matter? I can add this exp. to my resume that I've worked with xyz company for 3 months as a SWE Intern.
Secondly, It's a contract of 12 months b/w me & the company which I've signed. So obv. it can be discontinued at any day.
I know some people who are natively of Rajasthan have settled in Bangalore.
Also one of the good things about Rajasthani people I have observed is they can settle/they are present in almost every state of India.
And with time they know and learn the local culture and language as well.
If you think it's not working out for you then you can check elsewhere but IMO city should matter the least and the opportunities and the quality & way of life should matter the most in whatever extent possible.
Agreed :)
