Currently work at one of the FAANGs. Tired of the visa situation being indian. Current TC for wife and me is ~450K in bay area. Recent trip to india, interviewed for a few companies in bangalore and have one offer for ~1 crore ($140K) being cash heavy. Wife should easily find a job paying well say $50000 and expenses in india will be low. would you relocate to be with family? i am not particularly attached to lifestyle in usa and only here for TC and future kid.
Join Deloitte AMS, everybody is Indian there
Helllll yeah!!! Dang ..almost $200k in india.
Do you have a kid ? If yes, it will be very hard for you to go back voluntarily
I have friends who also are considering a similar move. The thing you need to really consider is how Bangalore will solve its systemic problems as the population continues to grow, the traffic gets epically even worse, and the resources are even further strained. The answer is usually walling yourself in, living essentially a disconnected life from the rest of the outside world.
Agreed, maybe once we have enough money to FIRE we will move to a tier-2 city. Expect that to take another 5-7 years.
Raising a kid in India, with all the pollution, crime, and poor sanitation is not worth it, for me at least. To each their own.
Can you share how was the interview process? Is it same as the US? I know you are SDM but any insights on the interview process for SDEs?
Process felt similar to US for SDM, with lots of focus on leadership principles.
Why don’t you consider Singapore?
Never been to Singapore before, but it could be a good location. Initial motivation was that kids grow up grandparents and family.
OP, did you make this move? I am almost in a similar situation and considering relocation and would appreciate any more insights.
