It's a chicken & Egg problem. I run a startup in Pune, and we just don't get good developers here. We are open to remote, and most of the good candidates are in Bangalore.
- elbear 2y agoWhat's the explanation? Better schools in Bangalore or something else?
- devsda 2y agoAccess to better schools is a factor in selecting a locality within the city but I don't think it has been a deciding factor in deciding the city itself. Many cities including tier-2 cities have a variation of one of those "international" schools that parents seek and there's no significant difference in the quality of education between them. Apart from the usual cycle of available talent + job opportunities, Bangalore has better weather and location wise it can attract talent from 4 states(these 4 states are major contributors to IT workforce compared to other states) while not being too far from place of origin.
- elbear 2y agoI see. So it's a matter of geography basically.
- lennxa 2y agobetter schools is not a factor at all. right out of college, or a little later most of the high quality engineers move to Bangalore because that's where the jobs already are. once people settle down a bit, they tend to be averse to move on average. it's network effect and sheer inertia. no one really wants it this way.
