Quality of living sucks though. The same money won't buy you same comforts. Commute is terrible. Housing sucks. Coming from a small village, I often feel alien here :). Though its a different kind of alien when compared with when I was in USA for short visits.
Healthcare is usually way cheaper and you can hire maid+cook. All I can say is that money shouldn't be primary driver for your decision unless you are doubling your savings. Also there is huge risk of rupee depreciation which is robbing us of any real wage growth.
- sures 8y agoI agree with this comment. The quality of life in a place like Bangalore or Mumbai is quite bad when you compare with an American city. Imagine spending 60 minutes to 90 minutes for one way commute to work just 6 miles away!
- lnkmails 8y agoOk. I have to make a choice between driving 60 mins for 6 miles vs getting shot at Walmart :). I am joking but I knew already commute is a problem in India. Is work from home more prevalant there?
- sures 8y agoWork from home is prevalent in India in some companies. The policy or the practice around it varies from no WFH at all to 1 day of WFH per month to 1 day of WFH per week to WFH whenever you like.
