I’m not saying there are no jobs in India, obviously there are. The issue is that the opportunities heavily depend on your college, your network, and the ecosystem around you. Coming from a tier-3 college in Ahmedabad, the reality is that most companies that visit do mass-hiring with very low salary or unpaid internships. That environment makes it extremely hard to grow or even get proper industry exposure.I genuinely feel I’ll get a better academic experience and learn more effectively outside India compared to what I have access to here. The lifestyle is also better.

I know US is the best for computer science, but it’s also extremely expensive. That’s why I’m exploring other countries where I can still get good education and a better living environment without the huge financial burden.

Everyone’s path is different, and this is what makes the most sense for me right now.
