What's stopping everyone from working in a Tier 2 or tier 3 city?

I like having lots of options in Swiggy Zomato and quick deliveries via Flipkart and Amazon.

Aasmaan se gire khajoor me atke.

Why would I move from Khajuraho only to work in Kanpur?

Quality of life in Tier 1 is just way better.

Well because I was born here and I don't know anything about tier 2 or 3 cities and all my family and extended family also lives here

It’s super easy to get bored in a Tier 2 city. You can explore everything that the city has to offer in less than a year. After that, it gets repetitive.

Plus, the competitive edge and opportunities you get by talking to people and participating in offline events is unreal. While this is difficult in a Tier 1 city, it’s impossible in Tier 2. In a Tier 1 city, I can have go meet folks working on a variety of different things and everyone will be in a 30km radius. In a tier 2 city, I might be able to learn about business and India 2/3’s necessities but never about India 1.

I live in Tier3 city (Remote Job). Cost of living is very less, And I get to eat everything fresh like Vegetables, Milk, Meat.., it’s a luxury these days . Plenty of restaurants, movies available as well.

As others are pointed out I don’t get bored, married with Kid and no pub person as well. I absolutely enjoy everyday sunrise, greenery, fresh air and calmness.

Fewer job opportunities, and poor access to quality healthcare, fewer shopping, food, & entertainment choices, and lack of ease of delivery apps like Blinkit, Swiggy. Also, not much difference in rent compared to suburbs of major cities.

Only reason I would consider moving to a Tier 2 or 3 city if I had parents / family living there, which I don't happen to have.

Why work in a tier 2 city when i can hop 5 pubs at tier 1? There is no social life in a tier 2 city.

Would just list my journey here -
Been in Bangalore for 7 years now, worked with amazing companies, made good network, know everyone from lawyers to pms to ai folks who would instantly reply to my message when required.
Got married two years back, wife started her business, its doing well and we have good savings.
Plan to do baby in 2 years and hence moving to. Tier 2 ( more like 2.5 ) in next 6 months WHY -
COST EFFECTIVE - can get house with garden and roof in 20k, currently pay 60k for a 3bhk Quality of life - fresh veggies , no traffic, garden, sunlight, freedom to travel in mountains ( moving to uttarakhand)
RECLAIM MY TIME - I think I have gained everything there was to gain from Bangalore - problem solving, fund raising, hustling, good connections. Now I want my TIME BACK which i can spend with my wife and my dog and my future kids. For that i need to work less and for that i need to spend less.

Thats my story - i am specifically optimising on reclaiming my time. I can work a remote job, claim half the salary i was drawing right now and still live a good life ( big house , full time servant, good car, good locally sourced food , personal fitness) and hence moving from here makes 100% sense to me now.

What are some of the top tier 2/3 cities to settle?

Which companies are hiring in cities smaller than Pune ? Do you know of any company that pays even 60% of what is paid in Tier 1 for same experience and role ? Can you share names if you're aware ?
