A woman from Bengaluru recently turned to social media to get advice after her family has faced a difficult choice-should she abandon her business and return to Bengaluru, or should her husband take a reduction in Salary so that they live together in Gurgaon? The couple, married for six years, lives away due to their careers. Initially, their income combined were close to 5 lakh per month, but her husband’s revenues have since exceeded 1 crore of 1 ₹ per year.
Their long -distance provision has become even more difficult after leaving its job to start a business and had a baby in 2024. Frequent trips have become more difficult, which encourages them to consider moving to Gurgaon. However, despite months of candidates and networking, her husband had trouble finding a role that corresponded to his current salary. Now she weighs if she has to return to Bengaluru or if he has to accept a less paid job to bring their family together.
Publishing on Reddit, the woman shared her situation: “In 2024, we had a baby, and traveling with a child was a fight for me since then. Now that we have been away for months, we have finally decided to move to Gurgaon because it is the nearest place that we can both set. The husband has applied in many companies and consultants, but all we have heard is that there are no great well -paid jobs in Gurgaon. We both live and feel extremely guilty of having removed our baby from one of the parents. Should I leave my career and return to Bangalore, or should my husband take a salary reduction and move to Gurgaon?
The answers flocked, many indicating the difficult labor market, especially for well -paid higher roles. Some advised to take a financial blow for a place of place, stressing that the Bengaluru technological industry offers better opportunities than Gurgaon.
A user wrote: “If you are 20-30 LPA, husband 100+ LPA, there is no doubt. I hope he did not resign. Forget Gurgaon, even in Bengaluru, obtaining 1 crore ₹ per year is a big problem today. So, if you can set up a career in Bengaluru or can travel every month for a week and keep a manager to supervise your business operations, you are finished. “”
Others reacted with disbelief to the dilemma. “Who are these people who throw 1 crore of 1 ₹ because they do Delhi vs Bangalore?” I want such problems in life, “wrote a commentator.
Another highlighted the financial risks of moving: “Your husband wins 1 ₹ more, and in today’s time, it’s huge. Your husband will never have this package in Gurgaon. It is honestly stupid to ask such a question. »»
While some responses leaned towards sarcasm, others offered practical advice. Some have suggested evaluating the long -term financial projections, taking into account the growing expenses of the education of a child. Another stressed that the poor air quality of Gurgaon could make Bengaluru a better choice for the well-being of their child.
