Need career advice from experienced people in tech/government sector

​

Hi everyone,

I genuinely need some career advice from experienced professionals.

I secured around AIR 1000 in GATE CSE, completed my M.Tech from a top institute, and recently joined a Central Government organization (Level-10 pay) through campus placements.

During the placement process, I was informed that I would most likely be posted in Bengaluru, but after completing training I was allotted Delhi instead. My organization has offices only in Delhi and Bengaluru.

The main reason I wanted Bengaluru is because I'm from South India. My parents are getting old, and both of them have serious health issues. If I'm based in Bengaluru, I can reach my hometown within about 6 hours whenever needed, especially on weekends or during emergencies. Another option would be to bring them to Bengaluru, but they are uneducated, have spent their whole lives in our village, and are not willing to move to Delhi.

I requested management for a transfer to Bengaluru, but they said there are currently no vacancies or requirements there. Since I've just joined this year, I also understand that transfers may not happen anytime soon.

Now I'm confused about my next step.

Should I:

  1. Continue in this government job and wait, hoping for a transfer in the future?

  2. Prepare for GATE CSE 2027 again and try for another PSU/organization with postings in South India?

  3. Start preparing for off-campus product-based software companies and switch after gaining some experience?

I enjoy software development, so I'm open to both government and private sector careers. My biggest priority is eventually working somewhere in South India so I can be closer to my parents.

I'd really appreciate honest opinions from people who have faced similar situations or have experience in either PSUs or the software industry. If you were in my position, what would you do, and why?

Thanks in advance.

Need Advice: How to Request a Delhi to Bengaluru Transfer in C-DOT?

I recently joined C-DOT as a Scientist B and have been allotted Delhi as my posting location. While I'm grateful for the opportunity, I am hoping to get transferred to the Bengaluru office.

​

The challenge is that I'm a fresher, so I don't have prior work experience to switch organizations easily, and since this is a government organization, transfers are not always straightforward.

​

One of my main concerns is family. My parents' health has not been good recently, and I may need to visit them frequently for medical appointments and support. Bengaluru would be significantly more convenient for me in terms of travel and family responsibilities.

​

HR has mentioned that I would need a strong justification for a location change. I'm trying to understand what kind of reasons are generally considered valid and whether anyone has successfully obtained a transfer between C-DOT offices, especially early in their career.

​

Has anyone here:

​

\- Requested a transfer from Delhi to Bengaluru in C-DOT or a similar government organization?

\- Used family medical grounds as a reason?

\- Had supporting medical documents considered during the process?

\- Been able to get a posting change before or shortly after joining?

​

Any advice on how to approach HR professionally and realistically would be greatly appreciated.

​

Thank you.

Any Telugu people in Delhi? Looking to connect!

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Delhi and I'm still getting used to the city. While Delhi has been interesting so far, I'm starting to feel a bit lonely since I don't know many people here.

I'm originally from Andhra Pradesh and was wondering if there are any Telugu communities, groups, WhatsApp/Telegram groups, or Telugu Redditors living in Delhi. It would be great to connect, make some friends, and maybe hang out over coffee, food, or local events.

If you're Telugu and living in Delhi, feel free to comment or DM me!

Thanks 😊
