Indians in your 40s and 50s, if you were 30 right now, would you go back to India?
I'm turning 30 soon, and I need help understanding what I should solve for. "You know what you want" hasn't worked very well in my life - looking back, my younger self had no friggin clue what's important as you grow up - the importance of relationships, not switch jobs so often, chasing shiny startups not knowing it's fake, not study hard enough in the right classes, not take care of fitness better etc... I wonder if and when I should plan my India move. Indians who are in their 40s and 50s, if you were 30 years old today, what would you do? PS: younger folks, we've heard our own opinions like an echo chamber on Blind a million times, I'm real curious to know what 40+ people think... Would be real nice if you could put your age with your answer... TC: 200k, 5yoe since y'all seem insistent
I asked this question everyday and I am of similar age. Been in the same boat. I have decided to go back to india. Of course there will be cons but I think pros matter more for me, i.e. being close to family. Let's see what others feel.
Man you have opportunity to grow. Visa doesn't matter. This is a place where no end to grow. Even 40 or 50 have lots of opportunities to grow. But if you always thinking for GC then I have question what you will do different if you will have GC what you can not do now.
Mate my concern is not about GC, let me remove that. Also I don't think you can grow that fast in your 40s mate, by then your work expertise is sort of set - it may turn out valuable, it may turn out average, you never know where destiny takes you.
Age doesn't matter. Matter is what you achieved. I am 41 now and my planing to do MBA in next few years. I want to grow. USA have so many opportunites to grow. And one more thing I am on h1b visa.
I have a green card. So i am planning to do something on my own here. I want to go back at times but I think in reality this is my home now.
How old are you?
I'm in the same boat
I am not Indian, but I would go to India and retire. Not in the city but I like villages in northern Himalayan region. I have been taking long breaks between jobs to live there. My previous company allowed remote work so I was there a long time. My only complain is the pollution when you have to visit big cities. Stay in villages and you should be fine.
I am 29 and planning to return to india permanently next month. I think once you hit some financial numbers you should try a few businesses and try to be your own boss. That’s what I am planning to do.
There are tradeoffs always.. you just need to figure out what works for you.. kids change your thinking and priorities. If you have less baggage you can give it a try and see..
I did that n have come back to the 🇺🇸 after a few years.. I many days keep thinking I shouldn’t have come to the 🇺🇸 in the first place. It is the exposure to surplus and the luxury that has made me lose my peace. After all, 🇺🇸 is not luxurious - you can have a maid, driver and a cook for the chores, parents to take care of your kids, you will be there for your parents whenever they need you. If you are ok to do not so cutting edge, earth shattering technology stuff, please go. It is a great decision and no matter who tells you, stick to it.
TC or GTFO
