Man Cleared Google Interview But Failed 'Tenant Interview' In Bangalore, Check Out The Reason Here
While searching for a decent place to live in Bangalore, he realised finding a home is more difficult than finding a job in this city. That's what he said!
A man recently shared his experience of passing a Google interview but failing a tenant interview in Bengaluru. Ripu Daman Bhadoria used LinkedIn to share his expertise with tenant interviews in Bengaluru.
Making a move to an unfamiliar city is filled with unexpected delights and new experiences. While some cities will warmly welcome you, others will be too quickly for you to settle in. And Bengaluru is smack dab in the middle. Among the numerous stories available on the internet about the country's tech capital, the ones that are guaranteed to make you laugh are mostly about finding a place to stay.
Ripu Daman Bhadoria took the same move after coming from Seattle. While searching for a decent place to live in Bangalore, he realised finding a home is more difficult than finding a job in this city.
As he said in his LinkedIn post, ¡°Given the demand many apartment owners started interviewing prospective tenants. I was caught off guard as I miserably failed my first-ever tenant interview. That was a moment of awakening for me as I realized that there are harder interviews to clear than Google.¡±
Yes, you read that correctly. So, if you have a job in Bengaluru and are planning to relocate with your eyes full of dreams and your heart full of ambition, first stop and find a place to live.
Here's The Full Version Of His Experience In Bangalore
"I cleared the Google interview but failed the tenant interview in Bangalore ??. Here¡¯s my short journey to clearing tenant interviews.??
Last year (2022), when I relocated back to #Bangalore from #Seattle, I searched for a decent place to rent, but it was extremely difficult due to the high demand post-COVID. Given the demand, many apartment owners started interviewing prospective tenants. I was caught off guard as I miserably failed my first-ever tenant interview. That was a moment of awakening for me as I realized that there are harder interviews to clear than Google.
As I strive to introspect and improve every time I fail, I directly asked the landlord for feedback on my interview performance and if there were any red flags they noticed, since HR/Recruiter wouldn¡¯t reach out to me with interview results in this case. The landlord was transparent in sharing feedback that they believed I was likely to buy a house, given that I work for Google. I never thought that working at Google could be so disadvantageous. ?
However, I successfully cleared the next tenant interview ?

Since he posted this on his LinkedIn, he's gotten some amazing reactions to his comments. He got more than 8K reactions, 27 reposts, and 245 comments. There are comments where people share their experience in the city or why they left.
One of the comments was, "Bangalore landowners are a nuisance. I was there in 2016, and i was asked questions like 'do you wear short skirts' or 'will you have male friends coming to your place.' Demonetization happened and they simply refused to take money to their bank account. I got a place to live since I was with TCS. My friend, who was in a different company, didn't get a place to stay for 2 months! Since then, I avoid Bangalore like a plague."
The other said, "I'm scared after reading this ? What if i will fail?" Ripu replied hilariously, saying, "Have Mountain Dew and go."
Ripu Daman Bhadoria is currently working with Google as an Engineer Manager. The total experience he has is 15+ years.
