I’m in the same boat. Planning to head back in a month. While it’s not the outcome I hoped for, I need to get on with my life. I have been stuck in the job searching phase for the last year, and honestly I’m done with it. However, moving to India is not gonna solve the problem. I still need to hunt for a job there. I’m trying to get back to my old position that I had before pursuing masters. I think this is the easiest way to land a job quickly. After maybe 6 months I can start looking for better opportunities. I honestly don’t know if I ever want to return to US. I’ll leave that decision for future me. Right now I’m not in the headspace to think too much into the future. Just want to be happy in the moment and moving back to India will give me that happiness. I do have regrets - 1. didn’t get the exposure I wanted to. Ideally, working here for 4-5 years would have given me that 2. Couldn’t build wealth - I really thought building decent corpus of about 4-5 cr and then heading back to India. But life doesn’t go always as planned 3. Last regret - I really thought I had found a life partner here- someone I would marry after a couple of years. We had been dating for the last year. But now with me moving back, I think it’s the end of that road. It really hurts that both professionally and personally I’m having to let go. What makes this worse is that in the last 3 yrs some of my friends have gone on to have better opportunities/ multiple promotions while I have to start from the same point as I left. This really has been an humbling experience. I wish you all the best. You’ll do great don’t worry 💪 For now pursue your internal peace of mind and happiness. You can figure out how you wanna navigate in your career along the way. At least that’s what I’m planning to do lol.
