I am trying to get back to architecture since a year of sending out resumes but it seemed difficult nowadays due online applications are too tough to get thru to prospective employers. I also fear that age is another hindrance to the competitiveness of the profession. I have a strong desire to work and contribute my knowledge once given a chance. But all I got so far are rejections. Tough times.

Would it be practical to look for an apartment 10-15 kms away if the office location is Marathahalli?
Location of choice would be hebbal, thanisandra, avalahalli and other similar ones.
Would it make sense to reside in such locations and travel to work?
Would like to hear from folk who are/have done the above?

Any recommendations?
