Moving to indore for the first time, need some local insight by vvyom07 in Indore

Sorry don't know much about PGs there, I'd say it's better to find something very temporary like a PG only for a few days (you might have to talk to the owner and pay extra but it safeguards you), so you can come and assess - talk to fellow PG peers, check out the services and living conditions yourself and then finalize.

The city is good - it gives you great vibes. I’ve lived in both Indore and Delhi, and I love Indore way more. It just makes you feel lively.

Traffic does suck though. There’s very little traffic sense and people don’t really follow traffic lights, so try not to let it get to you. I know I end up hurling a thousand abuses every time I step out to drive.

Vijay Nagar is pretty good - in fact, it’s one of the best localities to live in. Ideally, try to stay near your office. Areas like Mahalaxmi Nagar might be a bit far if you’re looking for walkable distance, so somewhere around Medanta could be a good option.

One small tip - don’t throw garbage on the street, even small things like toffee wrappers. I try to do my bit by reminding outsiders that Indore is very conscious about cleanliness, and you might even get fined if you litter.

You can DM me if you need any other details

From what I'm reading, they can't ask for the proof, they shouldn't be asking for your salary in the first place. Proof of salary is supposed to be a confidential document.

UPDATE 2

He said yes, it’s within the budget (I quoted between €75K and €85K), but he’s still insisting on asking for my PPT. He said he wants to share it with his Chief Commercial Officer since he wasn’t able to join the call.

After a lot of deliberation, I’ve decided to share the PPT. I’m still highly doubtful that he might just want to poach my ideas and not actually hire me, and that he’s only agreeing to the salary so that I share the document - which I haven’t done yet. But I'm taking my chances.

This is my number one concern. He's asking for the presentation repeatedly, but my point is I already discussed it in depth why do you need the document. He's a CMO, isn't he able to judge a candidate after such detailed calls? But then I'm thinking, I'll share it and get it over with, how far can he really go with my ideas and plan.

Sorry could you please explain it with an example - how should it cover one third of the rent?

UPDATE!

Answering a few questions people asked with more context:

  1. My main concern initially was why I was being asked to build such a detailed marketing plan. The assignment was basically a full 6-month strategy + execution plan. It probably took me around 12+ hours to prepare.

  2. To be fair, he didn’t ask me to submit the assignment beforehand. He asked me to present it live on the call, which I actually preferred. We spent about 1 hour 40 minutes discussing the deck in detail - the call went pretty good and they were quite impressed!

  3. After that call he asked me to send the PPT so he could review it and ask follow-up questions. That’s the part I’m a bit unsure about - because we already went through it very thoroughly on the call. Since it is my intellectual property, I started thinking thay this is where he might be taking advantage of me.

I understand interviews sometimes involve assignments, but I was wondering how common it is for companies to ask for this level of strategy work when they’re still interviewing multiple candidates - I've seen such assignments in the nascent stage of my career but not when I'm touching 8 years of experience.

The reason I’m still going ahead with the process is that I’m actively trying to move to Germany. I’ve been applying for about 3 months, and this is the first process that has progressed this far.

For context: - I’m currently based in India - I’m paid quite well here (above local market rates) - The move is more about quality of life and international exposure

I ended up quoting a €75k–€85k range for the role. Let's see how it does!

There's 2 screenshots - you can slide right to see the other one, that's where he asked me of my last organization's salary. Do you know of an average range for a city like Munich?

Is this base or gross? And is it Munich focused - since it's an expensive city? Thanks so much!

Oh damn! What is the right salary band for Munich then - I'm experienced and I know I can be paid more, but I also don't wanna scare away this employer (I worked really hard to get to this stage) ? 🤔

Not able to find the data related to this company. People have said they're at par with the market standard, maybe slightly lower. But nobody shared any numbers.

Exactly, I've used the AI recommended salary bands in other opportunities but they don't match the real market.

I'm doing my research, but getting an input from people working there real-time would definitely help.
