I have an offer from Infosys at 15 LPA (current CTC: 12.3 LPA) but need to relocate from Pune to either Bangalore or Trivandrum

Which location would you recommend considering career growth, cost of living, work-life balance, and long-term opportunities? I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Cost of living Trivandrum is better…

like

if you have to relocate with just 3 lakh more, it's not a hike at all.. wait for longer and get a better offer.

In banglore you'll save less than your current savings. in trivandrum, you'll not have as many opportunities.

Cost of living, traffic, and quality of life (more from a family perspective) is better at Trivandrum.
If choosing for Bangalore, i guess most of the hike you are getting will be hike for increase in rent which you have to pay at Bangalore.
Also, while relocating dont forget to ask for the relocation bonus and 15-30 days company sponsored stay(which most companies offer) so that you will get enough time to find a better stay.

Look for other offer.. relocating in this package in other city will be same impact

Opt for Trivandrum

I'm from Kerala, I'll advise you to go to Bangalore. Trivandrum is great but your salary will stagnate. Bangalore gives you better opportunities

It is very less package to relocate. Continue in pune and upgrade your skills.

I'm from Trivandrum, so here's my perspective.

If your main goal is career growth, higher salaries, and access to more opportunities, Bangalore is the better choice.

If you value a lower cost of living, better work-life balance, and less traffic, Kerala is a great option. In Trivandrum, you can usually find affordable rentals within 1–2 km of your workplace. However, if you plan to switch jobs frequently, the options are limited. There are fewer than 10 major MNCs, and most of the remaining companies are small or mid-sized.

Also, Bangalore is most affordable if you're single and staying in a PG or shared accommodation. If you're relocating with your family, rent can be quite expensive, especially if you want to live close to your office. Otherwise, you'll likely have to deal with heavy traffic , which can affect your work-life balance. Better find a job within Pune.

Trivandrum is better

Don't come to Bengaluru very costly

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
