>>It makes me wonder that as the young rockstars and H1B recipients age, where will they go? As somebody who worked in the US(Bay Area, CA) and then returned to India. The general idea among immigrants is to make it big via stocks and bonuses. Get a green card and move to somewhere in the east coast. For some people that takes forever. So you just get conditioned to stuff there and live forever. Plus most don't make it even to that phase, for most Indians and Chinese, green card never happens and they return to their countries. Those who survive do it due to a unique combination of work and luck, if you are that lucky already, and are ready to do the work- you will likely go further. Also whatever the situation is in the Bay Area, its always a huge upgrade from the home country you are coming.
