One user wrote, “I do freelancing. I never take projects from Gurgaon, Haryana, and Noida because they don't pay as per the agreement. I don't have to fight for payment in Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Telangana, Chennai. Hope you'll be there and correct them.”

Another user asked, “Why did you attend the interview and make them get approval for your salary, if you knew you would never relocate to Bangalore? This troubles me.”

A third X user added, “es bhai, Bengaluru is worst to be honest, WEATHER they brag about is slowly becoming hot, Bengalurians treat North Indian migrants like useless, food is not that great, greedy landlords and house owners. Hyderabad is better in South India in my opinion.”
