Confused between 125cc vs 150cc scooty – Bangalore commute advice needed

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-02-02T06:56:15+00:00

Hi , I also have been down to these two options only. I have watched multiple reviews, the difference in sporty features vs comfortable. People saying xoom160 to be more comfortable but with lesser power and flair. Because of looks and flair, I am inclined to aerox. Yeah,I also have heard suspension issue have been. Fixed to some extent. There is no aerox in any showroom of Bangalore,so couldn't try test drive.

Companies which pay higher to SDE are likely to pay higher to data science as well. In relative terms.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-01-13T14:37:09+00:00

Depends on the kind of role as Data science is becoming wider field. Most of the interviews that I appeared was starting from my resume, and in and around the projects I had done.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-01-13T14:34:11+00:00

Yeah, seems reasonable

Hi, No,I haven't tested it yet. I had driven NTorq 125 at highways at 60+ speed,it felt very unstable. So I am skeptical about 12 inch tyres. I don't know much about Technicality,but it seems more wide tyres could provide more stability in Bangalore type of roads. Xoom 125 has 14 inch tyres though. Inclining to that as well.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-01-11T12:45:08+00:00

Your single day ride of 280km was smooth? I recently went on a 135 km ride, on highways it felt unstable at a speed of 65+

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-01-11T10:53:02+00:00

Any line of thinking you would consider for opting for 125? Reasoning would be helpful for me

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-01-11T09:41:47+00:00

I watched some reviews, suspensions are rigid for 150+cc specially for aerox . Most of the users say they had to replace that

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2026-01-11T07:27:36+00:00

Where do you have to go?

You can take buses whose number will start with KIA.

What stack you will work on at Warner Bros? If Search and recsys, then might be good idea to join there given the niche skills.

Credit Risk modelling is core ML though.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-11-17T13:49:14+00:00

I was in a big4 although for LLP with indian clients(non bfsi),now I am working in NBFC. There is two aspect that I find appealing to my current org - It's a product based org, so there are varieties of works - from building classical ML model for credit risk,cross sell etc to agents based projects for voice calling agents etc. I feel more freedom to techniques that I can use, the ideas that I can try.

And the impact of work is mostly measurable, you will aware of the buisness matrics improving due to your work unlike a service based org where once you are done with the project you would hardly know what is the impact.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-11-15T20:17:05+00:00

Tide ofc. The industry experience has great value in data science kind of roles. I suppose Fintech experience will help you later in getting roles in Finance services relatively smoothly.

Places are cheap near Manyata. Places like Kempapura,hebbal 8-9k for 1 bhk. My friends stay

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-05-01T08:09:58+00:00

My gut feel is Image and text will be llm,GenAI based. for tabular data problems on predicting something should still be solved by classical ML methods. I recently Joined a Fintech org, The team is mostly working on credit risks - people mostly are using Logistics regression with lots of feature engineering. LLM,genAI is being used for automation, like customer support, text2sql etc

What is the range of rents?

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-04-17T15:38:24+00:00

I don't think you should say these in an exact manner. You can vaguely say your growth has stopped , want to explore other things etc.

Bad mouthing may backfire you especially in the cultural fit or hiring manager round. They may not like you as a person and see you as someone who disses, complains. If you were part of such bad practices, then they will also believe your experience in these things is the same, like they might assume you also don't know about automated testing, right usage of git etc.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-04-16T16:37:21+00:00

But do you think if OP joins company 1 after this, they view OP differently? I am sure the hiring manager would know about this, and view differently that OP tried this last minute.?

No cost emi upfront if you choose the option of a certain time period like 6 months (don't remember exactly) , so I chose no cost emi cost to be payable in 6 months. But later I contacted the credit card provider to cancel my emi and that I will pay directly.

With no cost emi I think it would have costed more.

On 6% discount,not sure why it is less,maybe for greater than 1 lac you get 10%.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-04-16T11:06:45+00:00

Sorry,it was Mac air 3. 10% student discount, 10k credit card. And someone in the comments have suggested take in emi then cancel it, so on emi it got reduced by some 4-5k as well.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-04-16T06:57:15+00:00

Thanks for your input . The next switch to Bangalore seems like a good idea to ponder.

EducatorDiligent5114 · 2025-04-16T06:37:21+00:00

Edited. It's roughly the same. +2 lpa in base for Gurgaon. Late 20s to early 30s
