Hi guys, I'm in a huge dilemma. I have offers from fortune 50 product companies with good enough package but their office location is Bangalore. I also have offer from NCR but the companies are either service based or start ups, but the culture in all of them is good and my home is near to them. The dilemma is, since Bangalore is far away the yearly expenses like travelling back home, etc. will even out the packages from both locations. So only incentive of joining blr comps is they are famous.

I didn't liked Bangalore. Lots of traffic, food issues and pollution. Plus every time you have to go home, add extra 4 hours just to Reach the airport.
Going by train is not an option, since it will take even longer.
And yes, expenses will be huge if you want to live a decent life.
Around 30k just for your house and food expenses.
Then going out to parties, going to home town. If you fall ill, add another 5k for that month.

But it has good weather, better opportunities and humble people.

NCR has its problem with pollution and weather.

If you want to visit home frequently choose NCR.

My recommendation is talk to the companies for permanent work from home arrangement, if any of those agree join it.
Otherwise choose NCR.

You're right, you'll save more if you stick to offers in your city..not only money but you'll save a lot of time.
Most importantly you'll be able to enjoy the time with your family and friends!

Along with money always consider location. Because traveling, home sick, doing house chores by own will give you stress

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload.

Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now?
