Remote work is dying - should I move to Bangalore?

My company just announced RTO 5 days a week starting next quarter. I'm currently based in a tier-2 city and don't want to move.

But looking at the job market, seems like most good opportunities are in Bangalore/Hyderabad with mandatory office. Is remote work for developers really dying in India?

Anyone know companies that are still fully remote?

I feel you, Lakshay. My company also announced an RTO policy recently. From what I hear, many startups in Bangalore are still flexible with remote work, especially in the early stages. Might be worth checking them out!

I'm an expat working in India, and from my experience, remote work isn't as prevalent as it used to be. The market's shifting back to in-person. Maybe try looking at international remote roles?

Bangalore is a great tech hub, but moving isn't easy if you're settled. I've heard companies like Zoho offer remote roles, but they're rare. Remote work might be fading, but hybrid is still common.

Hey, it's not just the work culture, but living in Bangalore has its perks if you're into tech. The networking and events here are unmatched. But traffic's a deal-breaker. Weigh your options!

For those who can, freelancing is another option to stay remote. You can avoid the whole RTO drama, but it comes with its own set of challenges.
