I am fine here. But I am feeling trapped in the united states. I miss India. After coming here I realized. “Grass looks greener on the other side”.

    If you are in 30s - think hard where you see yourself in 40s and later. Now all FANG and like companies hire in Bangalore unlike my prime where so had no such choice. You can work at such companies and live where you see yourself growing old. Owning a Honda City in India is more prestigious than owning a Merc here - nobody cares.

    All the Indians (including myself) are realizing that whatever we learned about the US before coming here was only half of the truth.

      > In US education is crazy expensive which is why you have good pay here for 70-80% of the engineers

      That's not why pay is good in the US.

    For me US is a heaven, since I am from a tier 4 college and I can't do anything better than WITCH.

  • I overheard two moms conversation at my kids class... it was all about How moving to USA is a big trap... first it's for job or education... then it becomes about earning little more for better life ... then it becomes about kids ...then their schooling then their college... all through the while the thoughts of moving back are in mind but never happen... you will get a better life here but end up leaving all your memories and next generations here.. if you want to and can, break the cycle... but agreed it's a trap..

      It's not a trap.

      The bait is just so good and addictive that people just don't want to let go. I don't get why anyone would want to stay anywhere if they felt they had a better option available. Life's too short to not make the best of it.
