Is my intuition correct that non startup big tech is setting up shop in other cities ? Pune & Hyd in particular. Bangalore is such a waste of a good city. If they'd scaled up public transportation when they needed to, a lot of the city's problems wouldnt have existed. My experience is that other than a few nice neighborhoods, Bangalore feels a little too slummy for a metro city.

They're trying to. But that shift will not happen. It's easier to hire people in Bangalore. If you go work elsewhere, you'll lose out on this weather and the other tech cities really suck. Chennai is crying under floods right now and is hot and humid AF all the time. Hyderabad is only a little better and salaries are much lower than Bangalore. Pune used to have good weather but well, it's not as good as Bangalore, but the food is great in Pune. No. The industry is here to stay. For better or for worse.

  > If you go work elsewhere, you'll lose out on this weather And salary. People often forget Bangalore salaries. That is one thing techies stick to Bangalore other than weather. Compared to BLR other tech cities in India are not really close. Esp. a place like Chennai. Tell a Chennai HR your Bangalore salary and it feels they fainted on phone or they just saw a ghost. > other tech cities really suck Not true. Problems that come with natural calamities is not a city specific problem here. Tech is still Bangalore in India but it is not going to be this way for long especially seeing how the city has been shitting on itself forever. I am a resident and that is how it is sadly.
