I'd say stay in the US... but then again I'm coming from a pretty extreme case right now (Bangladesh where I'm living for the year). It's amazing how much we take for granted in the states... things that add up to make you efficient in your work. Little things like not having reliable commuting options (transport), reliable electricity and internet, and having automatic laundry and dishwashing machines make life in the states so easy so you can focus on other things. It's fun to live in the moment as South Asia forces you to do, but it's tough to be anywhere near as productive. Here there are moments of uninterrupted efficiency but so many things are unreliable - internet: slow during peak hours, not unlimited, western prices - electricity: cuts out for about 2 hours a day randomly...HUGE productivity killer and makes it really hard to plan, stay cool, etc - weather: extreme heat and humidity, always fighting elements, dust, drying clothes outside in moments between rain downpours etc - transportation: getting across town can take an hour in choking smog - politics: shut down the city's commerce once a month Now you can get around most of the challenges above by paying enough, hiring service, living where you work, etc, but then you're spending almost as much as you would in the states. Then you need to consider how there are fewer opportunities to sell, share, network here... but that depends. If you're selling something for developing countries then it's a different story. I'm using my time to do something unique to this market while I'm here.
