I completed B.Tech. EE from Kolkata in 2017. After working in an industrial automation panel manufacturing company in Kolkata in 2018, I went to Pune in 2019 and after trying there to search for jobs in a few months, I got one opportunity in Thane district in a PLC-based control panel manufacturing company in June 2019. Recently I lost this job because of COVID-19 and I had to return to Kolkata this year because of the pandemic. I also realized that a factory job is not suitable for me. I have an interest in data analysis, AI, and ML. I am preparing for a job role as a data analyst. Is it worth searching for this job role at the entry-level in Pune or Thane/Mumbai?
Some general information for wanting to seek a job there - During the one-year stay in Maharashtra both in Pune and Thane, I was fond of the culture of Maharashtra, food, and people of Maharashtra, as well as the weather (except summer and monsoon), which is much better than my state West Bengal and other states I visited. I was also fond of the scenic view of Pune and Thane such as the beautiful Pune Mumbai Expressway, hills, and mountains in Thane and Pune district, and also several sea beaches in Mumbai within a few kilometers radius which I don't even find in West Bengal other than Digha, Darjeeling and small hills at Puruliya. I found that the people of Maharashtra are adjustable and humble and don't quarrel over small things which is exactly the opposite in Kolkata and West Bengal as per my observation. Therefore I loved the places and culture in Maharashtra and had a plan to stay and settle there. Moreover, I have a rented a flat at Bhiwandi near Thane with a rent of Rs.7000 per month, and my father government service employee) is paying the rent.
