I want access to the Alps, diverse languages, good food, amazing culture, sports, public transportation, healthcare, etc. Age: 25 TC: 210k Passport: US Country of Birth and Ethnicity: India College: T20 Languages: English, Spanish, French Resume summary without doxxing: ServiceNow (internship), Bloomberg (internship), Amazon (FT), Series C startup (FT) I am eligible for this program: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-potential-individual-visa-global-universities-list/high-potential-individual-visa-global-universities-list-2021 I still want to look at all my options.
UK <> EU so you need to keep looking. The UK is not on an upward trajectory so that will limit your long term potential
Yeah but the UK is the country with the best standard of life which is kind of easy to get into. That's why I was asking for countries with better programs.
You can find a Masters program or apply to Google in Zurich. Once youâre in Europe, be prepared for xenophobia, discrimination, bounced at clubs because of your skin color. If youâre in Switzerland, youâll need to speak local dialects to have a chance to make local friends. And good luck with the bureaucracy.
Dreams don't look so rosy now. Just curious, are you speaking from personal experience?
Didnât they just appoint a new prime minister in UK whose parents are immigrants from India? I think London mayor (possible former) is from Pakistan or so as well.
How did you get US passport?
From my dad. He is also a US citizen so I got citizenship from him.
Wouldn't Berlin or Paris be a better location to relocate to? France has a similar visa program AFAIK
You're ethnicity is Indian and you want to move to the EU? You might want to temper your expectations. The EU is significantly more racist and not as friendly as the US. The Indian community in most places is significantly smaller (outside UK) and you will have a tough time socially without being really good with the local language. I have immediate family across the EU and while the quality of life is a step up from India it's significantly behind the US. Even more so if you're driven and looking for career growth. I have been there very often and spend about a month each time and my personal experience mirror what the family says. It's good to visit for tourism for sure. But having spent enough time in the Swiss Alps, I think there's plenty of resorts in the US that are easily just as good if not far superior at a fraction of the price. If you have a family lugging groceries around in public transportation gets old really fast.
You can buy a car in Europe đ just because public transport is amazing doesn't mean that a car is not an option. It just often doesn't make sense because you're paying so much for something you'll rarely need to use. The same applies to places like NYC.
Have you lived there? How big is your family? If you have money then anywhere in the world will work. In the EU, you will pay through the nose to buy, maintain and drive a shitty car that can't be used for much else. High speed rail to pretty much anywhere is significantly more expensive than driving there for a family of four (probably even three). Forget buying a good sized SUV. Buying a car, maintaining and operating it is still significantly cheaper even in NYC. Amazing public transportation is an irrelevant concept for families.
