Most common problems faced by the freshers and how can you solve them:

 Despite being the capital city of Rajasthan, the people of the city are very conservative and do discriminate in terms of caste and religion. For the very reason, you might face some difficulty in renting flats if you aren’t from one of the ‘higher castes’ according to them. You can either go for PGs or can contact brokers who can get you a flat without getting into the trouble of negotiating it yourself.

 There’s no nightlife in the city, so it’s difficult to plan something after work. Shops and markets close by 9pm so better you stock in everything you might need. You can instead enjoy weekends exploring the nooks of the heritage rich city.

• The waiting period for a public transportation vehicle is about 20-40 mins, which is quite a bit for working people. Instead, you can look out for sharing vehicles or pool in with colleagues to hire an app based cab to your workplace.

Apart from work and everything, the city as it is known, is rich in its heritage. In free time you can explore things that tourists can’t, given the restriction of time. There are handicrafts to explore and then there are various festivals and events you can be a part of. One of the most famous of these events is the annual literature festival, which you shouldn’t miss for the world if you are a literature enthusiast and here for your job!
