Indecisive about relocating to Bangalore and applying for a relocation to Kolkata instead. I am a fresher who joined at the beginning of this year (staffed in project) and my base location is Bangalore. The primary reason to move to Kolkata being the cheaper cost of living.

What would be a better pick?
