Which is best city to live in?

[Rex]

Me and my spouse are in IT field, we have a baby too.
Which city is best to live as per job conditions and baby sitting arrangements?

Hi Rex,

This is extremely open-ended as there are IT hotspots all round the major cities. Reading/Maidenhead in Berkshire (30 mins from London) would be a good option as you are a family.

But saying that Birmingham in the West Midlands has plenty of affordable places to live in the surrounding areas and IT jobs too.

I think everyone will have a different opinion on this

[bugmaster]

yes agree, everyone will have different opinion.
I would say that Milton Keynes is a very nice place to live and at the same London Euston is just 40 min travel by train, birmingham 1 hr and all the smaller places around like northampton or luton are less than 1/2 hr by car.

I'm from Northampton bugmaster and would also agree parts of this area are a good base for a family.

Hi,

even though london is expense to live but most of IT jobs are in london(As far as I experienced it). I didnt visit any other city except Hitchin(I m living here.Cheap accommodation. It is close to london. 30 minutes on train) so I cant comment on it.

I am in IT field as well. I left london once because of job but i finally resigned and came back to london for work because of more money


It will be easy for you and your family to adjust in london area as it is multicultural city and you will find easy to get local food.

Good luck

Hi,

You're right. I have moved to Kent. Its a very nice area and very beautiful and green. But I miss the food too much. . Any experiences of Edinburgh and Glasgow? with respect to career IT jobs (Java/J2EE), housing and of course food. .

For IT, Banglore is also very good.
