Hi all, I am currently in Chennai. My company's main operations and my manager is in Bangalore only.

My manager asks me to move to Bangalore. I had couple of visits I am feeling I will have great exposure for my architectural aspiration, good salary packages and more opportunities when switching the jobs.

I have two queries
1. I am a minimalist so I won't be spending so much. Do you guys think that I can live a normal life with 50k per month.?

2. Will I be able to find good schools now?

I also feel sometimes that I would have reached heights if I were here in Bangalore for my technical skills and hard work capability. But I am not sure the location makes difference?

Background: 14y experienced full stack dev.

Location and company does make a difference. It's all about how well you adapt and make peace with the pros n cons.

I would also suggest making friends from your Bangalore office and understanding their typical lifestyle. You'll get some insights to make the next decision.

Rent will the biggest expense and 50k for all expenses will be difficult imo no what area you choose assuming you are a family of 3/4

Family of 4. Thanks for your response. It helps.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co.

I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
