Indian street food is disgusting
I am considering moving to India in about 6 months. Been in US for about 9 years now. Im 32M, not looking to get married soon. I’m trying to figure out what’s next and considering moving back to India or an anglophone nation which would take me. People who have made the transition, how did you go about it? TC 300k 800k NW
Moving to India is not the move. You wanna work in the US for long, get a Canadian citizenship. You wanna live a good life without the inflation bullshit, move to the UK/Europe
What are you even saying?
Unfortunately, many Indians buy into this. Go to USA -> go to Canada -> get Canadian citizenship -> go to UK/Europe -> then die. What a happy life! 😂
India is good if you are entrepreneurial and want to try out new ideas. Or if you are fed up of visa shit. Otherwise if you are happy doing a job in bigger companies, and family does not need you to stay close, stay put.
I’m not Indian, but I moved from Seattle to closer to my small hometown across the country and miss Seattle tbh.. you get used to the big city lifestyle. Grass ain’t always greener brother
For social life, india is good. If you are single, you can meet and party with other folks of your generation. In the US life is kind of lonely, and a bit regimented. additionally your friend circle will likely be quite small. Obviously US better for money and technical experitse. For Career growth, hard to say, maybe quicker promotions etc, and easier to move into management in india, but then again you are usually not doing the cutting edge stuff. In late forties now, and spent most of time in US and then moved back. looking back though, i think life would have been more fun for me here in the 20's. 30's maybe US is better, as you are focusing on building career.
Disagree. 20s is when you build wealth and invest and travel the world. For that you need US money. You can make amazing friends here and honestly you don’t need more than 4-5 really good friends.
Imho, the is plenty of time to make money. If you need money for travel, you can comfortably make it, working in india branches of America cos. Wlb and vacation days for travel are also much better in india (generally. Individual cases may vary).
First, you need to have a plan. Staying in India/another country for 1 months with no plan vs spending your life with no plan is completely different story. Many folks who go to India make an emotional decision and find out it didn’t work for them. It didn’t work because they were not determined and had no thorough plan
Moved back & now returning back to US at age 31. My personal experience - - India sucks once you have responsibility UNLESS you have political connections, family wealth and influence & do your own business. I learnt the hard way that even if you earn 1 Cr+ in a top US company it’s still pathetic - there’s a lot of rat race, everyone is very political in the workplace because there’s just scarcity of opportunities, you have to work according to US hours and have no work life balance. Also you cannot live outside bangalore (government introduced some restrictions on wfh) and the city can’t support these many people so it’s hell on a day to day basis. The biggest problem - if you’re high paid, you are at risk of being let go because you’re an exception against lakhs of people who are willing to the job cheap. If you ever get unemployed expect to not find another equal gig for 1 year, or be willing to compromise. There’s not enough opportunity yet and just a handful of good ones. Most of your coworkers are stressed out middle class people and you start seeing people get stress induced heart attacks by 40. - India was amazing for me in my mid to late 20s. I was here the last 4 years and I loved it. Tons of friends, very active social life, enjoyed a lot, also spent good time with parents and family which was great. TLDR: be in India in 20s, be in US in 30s and 40s when you need to earn well, consider moving back to India only when financially free & have enough money to set your kids up for success.
Totally opposite view. 20s and early 30s are best in usa. You can enjoy a non judgemental society. Explore world more. Earn more. Grow much more rapidly. Even after marriage initial years might be better in usa. Also parents generally dont need you by that time. Have kids in india. That is one time when you really need support. Especially if you are woman. Kids from new born to atleast 5 years age are best
Kids from new born to 5 years are raised literally free in india. Also india now has better maternity benefits. After kids start going to school it's similar in both usa and india. Sure you may find usa to be slightly better. Also for higher positions you may find its needed to move to usa. But if you are required to attend to parents india is better. You also obviously make raising kids easy with help available In 40s definitely you should be back. It's just better to have earned enough and travelled enough. As long as india does not feel alien you could actually live a luxury life. You could join a chill company and start thinking of second career for you age 45 to death Maybe a small shop or a restaurant or a tech startup. Everything is better and easier done in india with no visa issues.
Since you do not plan to get married stay put in the west. In India stags are looked down upon. You might find a hoe or 2 on Tinder bt that's about it.
Try Thailand if you are single.
Life in the US is super easy without kids, if you’re an introvert and don’t care about social life. Why move back to India?
Exactly
No slaves, i mean helpers, in USA
