A corporate worker who relocated from Noida to Bengaluru for a ₹30,000 salary hike now regrets the move, citing poor infrastructure, traffic congestion, and cultural differences. In a viral Reddit post, they described Bengaluru as "dirty, disorganized," with "bad roads" and poor water quality.

They also noted a visible divide between North and South Indians and found the city's dense population overwhelming compared to Noida's open spaces. The post sparked debate, with some agreeing that Bengaluru’s infrastructure is a major drawback, while others argued that Noida has its own challenges.

A user who moved from Bengaluru to Noida praised Noida's affordability and safety. Another user, who faced regional bias in Bengaluru, felt unwelcome despite only speaking English. Others criticized Bengaluru as the "most unplanned city" but acknowledged its pleasant weather. The discussion highlights the ongoing debate about India’s top IT hubs, weighing job opportunities against living conditions. The post serves as a cautionary tale for those considering relocating to Bengaluru solely for financial gain.
