[QUOTE=neo_avatar;479290]You must have very deep pockets to survive in Bangalore all this time w/o a job.[/QUOTE]

A very valid concern. Bangalore is indeed expensive. It is even more expensive for NRIs/R2Iers as they are charged a lot more for everything in an organized way.

Sorry, had to take off for so long, back again. [B]Moving Process:[/B] Since I started late on selling off my car, I could not sell it before moving, and I donated it later. I will say the car selling process should be started early with enough time in hand before you R2I. Never think of shipping an ...

[QUOTE=KirKS;475436]Reading some of the experiences of OP, particularly the meaningless calls made to her, "cockroaching" among themselves, interviews without focus, returning calls etc., many would be getting a scarier picture of interview process in Bengaluru.

People here often use various noises made with nose, mouth to ridicule someone unknown passing by. They ...

[QUOTE=cf_r2i;474983]Thanks for sharing these details. I did an attempt in 2008 and can verify your experience to some extent. For some it may seems exaggeration but I know it was like that. It would be interesting that things have not changed/got worse. How you managed to pay bills without on ...

I wanted to add to my original post, but could not do it. Can someone tell me how I edit my post?

I started by applying to some companies in India from US nearly six months before I R2Ied. The flow chart goes like this here. First thing these indian companies do after they receive your resume/application, is to send it back to their US offices. Then the US office contacts you and possibly shows ...

I am a long term follower of this forum. I R2Ied in 2008 to Bangalore and since then have seen a lot; the new Bangalore, the new India and the new Indians. I have been through a lot after I moved back to India apparently for unknown reasons. I would like to share my experiences post R2I on various ...
