My tc in india is ~140k usd, i am getting around ~280k in sf on l1, i believe life will be much better in bay area I am sick of so many people everywhere in india, pollution and plethora of related things. I am planning to move with my wife, she is a data scientist with reputed firm here, how difficult is for her to get a job in bar area with EAD? Also, any general comments on people who have moved, how is life in general. yoe : 6, eng
Don't move, India is definitely better place and will improve over the time. Just that problems about being in USA is not spoken out loud as about india.
Are you crazy? With that package in a city like Blore I would have never ever thought about moving out of blore!!! Reality check, bay area is no lesser than being in Blore it's hugely crowded, has traffic (slightly lesser than Blore) & extremely competitive(rat race continues even here).
150k USD in India you must be living like a king there
With that tc in India u don’t have to mingle with plebs. Create ur own mini city and employ all the minions u need. Edit: more I think more I like the idea of starting an empire like “despicable me”!
There’s that humor we all know and love. 🤣
I was starting to get depressed reading another thread about TCs at 25. I read this comment and it I feel better now. Keep up the good work (humour), Roku.
I would like to trade my life with yours. Pm me if you are interested.
Are you insane? You can live like a king with that tc in India
L1 gives you very little flexibility in your job. You can't just switch anytime you want, and companies don't like to play the h1b lottery game.
150k in Bangalore? Don't move to SF. At all. Anyone who is "doing well in India" will really hate moving to the US on any kind of work visa, for tech work. It's a significant drop in self respect and quality of life. I've worked in India and the US. Ping me if you want.
I have $350 and my wife’s tc is $150. With two kids going to private schools we barely meet our ends. And the reason they are going to private schools is because we cannot afford a home in a good school district for public schools.
150kUSD in which city ?
Bangalore
For 6yoe? That's awesome
