I don’t think I want to live in the United States anymore. I have a Green Card, bought a house a month ago, little savings that can last 3-5 years, but zero motivation to keep continuing. My father is ailing and for the first time, I felt like I needed to spend more time with my family instead of focusing on career. I’m married to a U.S. Citizen, so would have to work with her to understand what she’s comfortable with, but I just don’t want to work anymore. I literally hate every single minute of my work (have some offers, but I don’t know if I want to live in the corporate world). Any advice, recommendations from someone who’s transitioned back to India? TC - 220
And this is why ladies and gentlemen you should FIRE by 30s. Life is too short to keep slaving away for billionaires
I am fortunate that I don’t have to worry so much about living a middle class life in India tbh
Come back dude. Nothing more important than time spent with parents. Tons and tons of opportunities and trust me you will live like king.
Go to your father he might not be around for a very long time. Talk to your partner and decide.
Come back. You'll be more happy than u think
Bring your father to USA.
That’s not an option, unfortunately. He doesn’t like it here, especially with limited family and societal interactions.
OP in that case moving back to india seems to be the only way, Family is most important.

Rude, but sure.
Evaluate what kind of life you prefer. Growth in career, more opportunities, professionalism, more money - US More social interactions, availability of chaufer for driving, maids for cleaning, cook for cooking at decent salary which gives u more time for social interactions or learning, more time with family - pick india My choice was india, because I knew that if I will fall sick neighbours would drop anything to take me to hospital or provide support, family is there to look upto for care and support, though this is subject to your social circle. People in the US were too occupied in their own lives and barely socialize. Here culture itself promote to invest in social interactions to build a strong supportive network
Good choice
Do it, just make sure your partner and you have some sort of understanding. You have a path back anyways. Most Indians are simply shit scared of never being able to return to the US.
