The US may beat India in macro level economic factors for quite a while to come, but for a more senior professional with a marketable resume I think it's not too hard to find the positive niches.
Honestly the main thing that keeps me from moving back is quality of life concerns with traffic, air quality, and noise pollution.
- radicaldreamer 4y agoI think the pollution, weather, water quality, noise, dust, and overall lack of high quality public spaces is a big deal. India is amazing and dynamic in a lot of ways, but there are major intangibles to account for (like how much one values a quiet evening walk in fresh air).
- Ar-Curunir 4y agoYou don't have to live in a Delhi or a Mumbai or a Bangalore. Cities like Dehradun, Ranchi, and more provide many of these amenities.
- sremani 4y agoThe most important amenity is Employment. Only a small portion of people would move to tier-2 seconds and that too because of familial ties not some over whelming amenities. By and large NRIs moving back from US end up in the usual metros at least in the beginning.
- jitix 4y agoI grew up in a state capital and lived in 2 metro cities and honestly the infrastructure was better in my home city in terms of electricity, water and flooding. But there are very few tech jobs, which gives the 2-3 employers there huge leverage due to the lack of job mobility. Hopefully between fibre penetration and WFH culture things will improve.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoMan there is really nothing much to do in these smaller cities. It gets boring very fast. There is also a culture that’s very socially intrusive. People will drop in on you unannounced randomly. Which is great if you’re a socially extroverted person but if you want to get some work done, not the best case scenario
