Culturally, for personal life and Career wise - Is it worth to move to Bangalore or Chennai. Confused.
Home is far away in Patna. Impossible to work from Patna as there are no corporate law firms or sizeable in house roles there.
I am still living on rent in Mumbai. Don't have a family/single. Confused as to whether to take this step.
1. The quality of life is certainly better than Mumbai or Delhi simply because of lesser pollution.
2. There is a deep ecosystem for startups in Bengaluru so if you want to ever take the dip and start your on own new age business, blr is the place.
3. Again, since it is the IT hub of the country and you are moving in-house, finding relevant work will not be a problem if you decide to move on from your current company.
4. Culturally- you might not feel at home in the beginning but there are many ethnic groups that peacefully co-exist in bangalore so it has a cosmopolitan and progressive outlook. Bangalore accepts people.
P.S. If you are interested in languages and can pick up workable knowledge of Kannada, it will make the process of staying and making the city your own, easier.
