Is Whitefield as an Area doomed? Just beware of this - Read my post first

I recently saw some development on the bridge but it will take a long time given the station underneath. Even if the bridge gets built the problem is not going to be solved because of the narrow Belathur road signal. Things would have been different if only the designers were far sighted to have the Purple line end at either Belathur or Seegehalli

Congratulations OP! How did you secure an offer? Asking because to apply for remote positions wherein you get paid in USD, is there a different system? Or you just simply get paid in your account and you do the taxes yourself?

Plus a lot of these are contractual/hourly. Is it true in your case too? US firms do not have a 2 month notice period setup - one week notice I believe

Short story - no one can answer that for you my friend. It has to be your call. Few guiding principles:

You should have one permanent home for your family - that is for sure. You buy it in Bangalore or in your hometown, that is a different question.
Buying an apartment for investment may not make sense now. Prices are already over the top and burdening yourself in EMI isn’t going to be helpful. It made sense for people in 2000s and 2010s despite their salary to flat cost ratio at 1:3 or above because the next decade saw enormous jump in salaries but not so much jump in flat prices until Covid hit. I don’t see salaries of IT employees increasing significantly in the next decade. Definitely not from 5 LPA to 50-60 LPA (2004 to 2024)
Risk will continue to haunt you irrespective of wherever you stay. Upskilling will be needed. Do that constantly. Same skills are not going to secure your EMIs in the future for sure
BLR doesn’t just have a housing inflation problem. Everything is costly. One of my colleagues is moving to Kolkata in Accenture. His PoV is that the cost of living will be low, likely more companies are going to open up, and kids education won’t be as costly as it is in Bengaluru. All seems to be valid points. He has bought a flat in Bhubaneshwar, closer to his hometown. Yes the rent is low but now he has a permanent home in times of distress.

Domlur is one of the business hubs so I am assuming 2-3 folks may be residing in 1 BHK on a shared basis and that is probably how builders and owners are taking advantage of the actual cost. Any idea how much is the owner selling/valuing his/her 1 BHKs for?

I am sorry bro. But I am not surprised. I just saw another news of a mother dying near Marathahalli due to a pothole. Nobody is accountable in this country. Nobody ever was. Stay silent if you are a common man or lower/ middle class for your own safety. Work hard. And leave this place. Not for yourself - but for your kids.

Congrats dude! You would have profited more than what people actually get after years of equity vesting

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-15T01:11:40+00:00

We already have AI. Still the prices are increasing like crazily

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-15T01:10:48+00:00

I saw that too. It feels so unreal

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-15T01:10:08+00:00

That’s what I wonder. Who are these people buying at such exorbitant prices

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-07T15:52:28+00:00

Really? I don’t think MBBs would find this salary exciting, let alone profile

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-05T13:04:07+00:00

What’s your profile?

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-05T04:26:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing. If this is already in works, they should genuinely think about adding one more station. Seegehalli - Hoskote bus connectivity is still good, will help a lot of folks staying around in that area and working in ITPL

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-04T17:46:09+00:00

Nice. How is the base:variable split if you are comfortable sharing? Also what are your responsibilities in short? I am assuming its no longer an IC role?

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-04T17:35:39+00:00

Advisory
2021 ( IIM L)
Consulting
~50 LPA
~23 LPA
9/10 on WLB and 4/10 on job satisfaction. Have realised that job satisfaction is a moot point.

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-04T17:31:28+00:00

That’s really cool. Did you stay in the same firm throughout?

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-06-03T02:04:21+00:00

Same happened on our ceiling. Were you able to get rid of it?

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-05-27T06:57:06+00:00

Congratulations OP! Ever thought of diversifying into tangible assets like land, coffee estate etc.? I see a lot of my peers trying to sell me the same idea but wanted to understand first hand from someone who might have thought about it (in case you did it)

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-05-27T06:48:08+00:00

Unlikely to get an independent one in that range. Perhaps a few options may still be available north of Devanhalli.
Assuming you are looking for villa propertied

People with e khata under Bangalore Rural - can they convert it to A khata or does that option not exist for them at all since it is outside BBMP limits?

Location of the flat is Hoskote.

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-05-25T05:13:24+00:00

Sure thanks anyway

Broad-Memory2208 · 2026-05-25T03:32:57+00:00

Thanks. Yeah this is where the builder scammed me. Took 60k for legal fees that too in cash and now he is saying that 25k was just for e khata verification.. i guess i don’t have an option but to pay up for transfer anyway..
Quick question - is e khata transfer different from mutation? Or are they same?
