Move to BLR on less stipend?

Currently interning WFH for 2 months at a tech startup as full stack intern at 35k per month. They have asked to come to BLR. Is it possible to live on this much stipend and save money as well?

If I don't go, the remaining 1 month of internship might get cancelled. If I go then chances of 3 month internship extension and full time after that increase. (Full time base: around 7 lpa)

Also have an offer with a deferred joining date anywhere between Oct-Dec for an non tech role (Base pay : 8lpa). May revoke the offer due to recession as they previously revoked my internship offer as well.

2023 Grad from Tier-3 college with 4 months prior internship experience.

What should I do?

Go to BLR and save no money
Leave the intern, wait for joining date of other offer and keep applying

Go to Bnglr, u can get a decent 2/3 sharing PG under 10k. If you want to save money, limit every other expense except for food orders once in a while as most pg food isn't good.

Thanks for advice. Can you elaborate on how to get such a PG. Which websites to look at?

Look for PG areas near your office: just search on Google, rent a Yulu and look around.

PGs are very often situated in close vicinity of each other, due to most of them being owned by a chain of Reddys.

Target ~10 over a weekend, finalise on one. Due to nature of PGs, they won't take more than 1 month deposit, so you can easily move if you find something better.

Usually I wouldn't recommend BLR to anyone because it sucks. But the job situation for tech is really bad, you should take what you can get.
