An engineer from Gurugram has stirred extensive internet controversy after declining a job offer of Rs 35 LPA. Gaurav Sharan said on X that he respectfully declined the offer because his job needed him to relocate to Bengaluru.

Social Media Reacts

One user stated, “I do freelance. I never take assignments from Gurgaon, Haryana, or Noida since they do not pay according to the arrangement. I do not have to struggle for payment in Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Telangana, or Chennai. I hope you'll be there to rectify them.”

Another user remarked, "Why did you attend the interview and insist on salary approval if you knew you'd never go to Bangalore? "This bothers me."

A third X user said, "Yes bhai, Bengaluru is the worst to be honest, the weather they brag about is slowly becoming hot, Bengalurians treat North Indian migrants as if they are useless, the food isn't great, and the landlords and house owners are greedy. In my opinion, Hyderabad is the best city in South India."

Another user wrote: “Good - be where ever you are - Bangalore has already enough problems with traffic and other states population.”

“Why did you attend the interview and make them get approval for your salary, if you knew you would never relocate to Bangalore? This troubles me,” another added.
