Currently in Singapore, will be moving to Amazon Berlin SDE2 , salary over there is around 100k Euros. No chances of getting a PR in Singapore. Germany PR/Citizenship will take 5 to 9 years. Moving to US would be one option. Is it worth waiting to get L1 and then wait another decade to get a green card? Or out of the box solution is to try for PR to Canada/Australia. Or stay and enjoy in Berlin. Suggestions/Comments/Thoughts by fellow Indians.
Why so reluctant to stay out of India?
Serious question: why not stay in India? Is it that bad?
The problem with India is you pay 30% tax for no infrastructure, no health care, amazing pollution and world class corruption but not all things are bad, good food and close to parent's are something to look up to.
For tax, you pay that in every country more or less. Be fit. First happiness is being healthy. Big cities has very good health care now a days Yes but we have to change ourself then only pollution will reduce. You canโt escape this reality. Even if you go to other country there will. Air is common for all. As a software professional I never paid a bribe in my life. Be the change None of the country in the world is perfect. You have to live along with things!!!
I agree, but I am talking in general if you want to live outside India things are getting tough for Indian's as we are billions in number and there are limited perks living in India.
Sorry mate. It's not your mistake that you were born in India. Shit happens
This is the worst and most racist comment that I have felt in years. Kudos to you for hurting my feelings ๐๐ป๐๐ป
True, Hellopaaji. Totally agree.
Try for Canada, getting PR is much easier there (takes around 5 years) for Indians, tech scene is decent in Toronto and Vancouver
I'm Canadian and decent is sugar coating it.
Thats a good option, thank you
Why canโt you get PR in singapore? I thought that was super simple if you have a job
For Singapore PR, these days only Chinese and Malaysians are getting it, dont know why.
@sulk that was several years ago
Tough luck, my friend. While you wait for a Canada, US, or Europe residency - in the interim, working in Singapore, or Dubai etc. is an excellent option.
Currently in Singapore, will be moving to Berlin :)
Hey, my friend. Yeah, this is not a bad strategy while you wait out your residency approval. In the US, there are too many Indians and you will feel the culture the same - wherever there are largely Indians. Same office politics (or perhaps worse) as India. If you can crack it in somewhere Europe, you would like it more, I feel. Also, the healthcare is a big scam in the US - no matter which insurance plan you have.
Depends on your YOE and skill set. If you don't have school going kids, try Berlin for sure. Gives you a different perspective on life. Do learn German and be aware that more people are formally dressed. Depending on skill set, try Scandinavia. Canada used to be good from a PR perspective, but not sure how its is now. The downside of Toronto is high cost of living.
Move to Canada on PR -> 3 years -> Canadian Citizen -> Work freely in common wealth countries or come to US/Mexico on TN.
Can you elaborate? What exactly do you mean by "work freely in common wealth countries"? Would I not need a work visa in this case? Genuinely curious.
Yes. With a Canadian citizenship common wealth nations like NZ, AUS are easier to get jobs and work in.
Get married to a citizen. Else keep waiting for life long.
Already married, I think that would sum up things.
Rinse and repeat
