Man 'Regrets' Moving To Bengaluru From Noida, Slams IT Hub For...
A man who moved from Noida to Bangalore for a ₹30K salary hike regrets his decision, citing bad roads, traffic, and water issues. His viral post has reignited the North vs. South city debate online.
The debate about North vs. South has increased significantly in the last several years, and the main reason can be professionals moving from one city to another and experiencing different situations in the cities. In that series, another post on social media has again reignited the debate about which place is better.
In this latest instance, a working professional shared his experience after moving from Noida to Bangalore following a ₹30,000/month salary hike. However, his excitement was met with disappointment as he encountered Bangalore’s infrastructure issues.
He wrote: "Now here in Bangalore, the city is dirty, not organised, had bad roads, worst traffic, bad water, less private space per individual and the north vs south thing can be seen. Never in Noida I found dense populated places, Bangalore is completely opposite to that."

According to his post, after completing his education, he worked in Noida for over a year and thoroughly enjoyed the city’s infrastructure, diversity, and overall livability. Initially, he sought opportunities only within the Delhi-NCR region, but soon realized that limiting his job search by location was costing him potential career growth. "After completing my graduation I worked in Noida for more than a year and I really loved the city because of the city's infrastructure and its diversity and many more. I planned to switch company looking at opportunities only in NCR at first but later I realized that I am losing many opportunities because of filtering the region."

He eventually accepted an offer in Bangalore and relocated four months later for a significant salary hike. However, after spending four years in the city, he found himself facing challenges that he hadn’t encountered in Noida. "Now here in Bangalore, the city is dirty, not organised, had bad roads, worst traffic, bad water, less private space per individual and the north vs south thing can be seen. Never in Noida I found dense populated places, Bangalore is completely opposite to that. I really regret moving out of Noida. So to people who are planning to shift from Noida to Bangalore, give yourselves some time and think 'Does it really worth moving?' IMO Noida is the best tier-1 city to work in (ignoring the pollution).”
As the post gained traction, it sparked a fresh round of the North vs. South debate in the comments. Some users accused him of unfairly criticizing Bangalore. In response, he clarified that his opinion was not influenced by regional bias, as he hails from the South.
"I clearly don’t want to make this a North vs South issue. And I’m telling you again, I’m from the cleanest city in South India, Vizag. And I have studied for 4 years in the cleanest city of India, Indore. I just stated that I don’t find Bangalore as clean or as organised as the cities I lived in."
Users’ Reactions
The post received mixed reactions, with some agreeing with him and others defending Bangalore.
One of the users said, “I did the opposite, moved from Bangalore to Noida because I wanted to stay near my parents. I think the only thing I miss are my friends in Bangalore else I feel moving to noida was the best decision I took... Saved a lot of money and stress. People say noida is unsafe but I feel much safer in Noida as compared to Bangalore.”
Another one added, “As a bangalorean agree with your decision to leave it's a smaller city and yes rapidly developing hence unplanned, sorry you felt discriminated but the issue is 2 sided where few idiots act out on on both sides ruining the experience and image of the entire community. We are happy you are back home and happy, kudos.”
A third user stated, “Did the same mistake a year ago, banglore is simply the most unplanned city of this country, there is nothing that works right there, roads, flyovers, metros all in a chaotic loop. Obviously the only upside of living in Bangalore is the weather.
