Which city shud i go to?

S

Hi Ppl,
I am in Infy Bhubaneswar and hv gt bored with this city after spending 3 yrs here. I am lookin for relocation and Bang, Hyd and Pune r on my list. Guys plz tell which will be the best option fr me and why.

Note - I m frm Kolkata bt m nt home sick at all. And m single

Thanks,

B

Infy Bangalore - no doubts about that choice. I've been there for about a year. It's the best Infy campus (after Mysore of course, but Mysore is only for trainees, I guess).

mumbai

^Infy does not have any office in Mumbai, except for a small (4/5 employee) sales branch at Nariman point.

Oh... and BTW, I forgot to answer the "Why" part.

Couple of reasons that I can think of:

1. Bangalore office does most of the R&D and mainstream work as compared to others. I may be wrong though. Thats my perspective and observation. Although not a direct Infy employee, I'd worked there as a consultant.

2. I am not sure about what Hyd office does. Mostly SAP and other stuff I guess. And AFAIK, Pune is just testing department. So it all also depends on your profile.

3. Climate, weather, nature, and all that - if it appeals to you.

4. Most importantly, you'd love the canteens at Bangalore campus. Gotta love'em all. And on week ends - you've got the best South Indian restaurants out there in the South - all the Shanthi-Sagars and Shiv-Sagars <- best ones you can find anywhere in the South. Damn! miss'em. Will fly to BLR for just those on my next visit to India

Chennai has a Infy office... dunno what they do, I can ask my friend who works there if you like.

U r from KOLKATA.
Hmmmmmm........

Chennai??? Kaya khayega be??

Go to bangalore/hyd and b4 that learn cooking

ur taste bud wont just accustom with the food provided those places. Thats d reason I'm advising u to learn cooking.

S

i really love all kinds of food....maybe its because i hate cookin...hehe
bt the voting seems decisive...bangalore its gonna b fr me....
i ws expectin tht many ppl will also say pune....
i also like touring n driving a lot.....r there places to visit around bangy which cn b covered in the weekends? shud hv gud driving roads...

B

Yup, there are a lot of places in and around Bangalore that can be covered on week ends - Mysore, Banerghatta, Nandi hills, Shivanasamudra and others.

P

goto:headbanglore.

G

hyd

S

come to bangalore dude....... nice place.............. gud food............. nice places nearby.... u'll enjoy.....

Well I have been to Infy blore for 4 months Training ..IMO Blore traffic totally sucks..also rent price is too much high with stupid 11 month advance contract ......... means if u r taking 10k house pm rent u have to pay 1.10 lakhs as advance

Also its overcrowded ...

I had been to INfy Pune for 1.5 yrs and Pune totally rocks !! Just buy a bike and roam around FC Road, MG Road, JM Road, Koregaon Park etc etc

Eat Punjabi Paranthe @ Chaitanya FC Road or Kothrud

PUNE ROCKS !!! Go there

U can also choose HYD as I have heard its gud too (rent wise , city wise) but dont ever go to Blore or Chennai

And AFAIK, Pune is just testing department. So it all also depends on your profile.

Have u ever been to Infy Pune ????? How can you say that ? I am from testing but apart from testing all development in BFSI, Telecom etc verticals are there !
First take data from some reliable source and then comment !

B

^Thats why I said AFAIK. I have been to Infy Pune too (not for work though) and the testing thing was something someone told me when I was in BLR. Sorry, if that mislead someone.

^^its OK mate

..u in Deutsche Land for some onsite

B

Yup. Kind of. But will be moving to Mumbai soon

^^come with a licensed gun then

B

They only make those here. It would be easier to get a license in India than here.

H

BANGLORE man....no doubt...

bangalore. no second thought

HYDERABAD ,, Of course

Come to Nainital to cool yourself.

@esumitkumar: your concern on Bangalore seems pretty valid....
bhubaneswar is very calm n sparse and even kolkata makes me feel sick these days with its overcrowded streets and unruly traffic.....i definitely dnt wanna spend 3 hrs everyday on road.
What abt pune's weather? and wht abt malls and cineplexes? Is there enough places to hang out in weekends?

I have same qns fr someone who belongs to Hyd....

Man u r pissed off with Kolkata's traffic and ur choices are Bangy, Hyd???*s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/27large.png
Ur perfect choice is Pune. Calm weather, nice sceneries but a bit of dusty roads.

S

dude....I can only have my choices limited to those cities where Infy has a office...
so u r sayin even Hyd is a bad choice?

C, if ur main concern is Traffic then HYD, Bangy anytime tops kolkata.
Pune is still not that much crowded.
So............

PUNE ROCKS ! u wont ever regret..E square, Kothrud, FC Road, JM Road, Koregaon Park etc etc....and weather is awesome ..I miss Pune
