Not so much in FAANG as they pay well and life is good. So much in startups - usually pay is good, life is shit. So it’s a revolving door there. You were the sucker who prepped hard and came for salary bump, when you leave there’s another sucker waiting. There are too many suckers to be always available (late nights, weekends - this is what kills the culture in Indian companies) to get a big salary. That’s true about EU <-> IN though. I wanted to work in EU but didn’t want to settle there. It didn’t make much sense monetarily as I’d retire in India. So not only I’d save more in India, hell I was absolutely earning more in India. However if my plan was, or changes to, settling in Europe I’d have done it. (Among few I had an offer from Booking)
