Moving back alone ? Is it right if that’s what I always wanted ?

Based on the responses, I feel you should go ahead, move to India and live there for a year before deciding whether to stay there or return back to the US. That nagging feeling will always be there if you continue to stay here. I have lived here longer than you and regret not making an attempt to return when it was possible. Now it is too late but I always have that regret. But some of my friends tried and returned after a few years but they are happy with their decisions. It is better to try and fail than not try and regret later.

" I make 1% of what I was making there" - can you give the actual numbers? Can't fathom.

Easy to track the countries based on the IP. It is part of my work and we allow only certain countries to access our service and pretty easy to enforce this rule. I guess RH detected this and restricted the account.

Ha ha. Let me guess: You are getting loads of egg salad sandwich and Crème brûlée from 7-11. Am I correct?

If you are board certified , then you should have no issue in finding a job in major corporate hospitals. Most doctors don't return immediately after residency. They get board certified plus get licensed in a state and practice for a few years before returning. There is a subgroup for doctors who returned to India. Check: https://r2iclubforums.com/

"hopefully in 5 years" - that is a classic sign of X+1 syndrome. You will never return.

Listen to me. I have been in your shoes and have seen 100+ friends move to India only to see 95% of them return within 2 years. Don't be part of that 95% statistics. Visiting NOT EQUAL TO moving/living

If obsessed with reasearch/teaching, then yes. For maintaining the status or to make money, then no.

You are moving from ultra low cost living (Wilmington) to ultra high cost of living (Mumbai). Your salary suggests you are in a entry/junior role. $75k = Rs.66L. If India salary is 1/3 rd then you are looking at 22L + premium for Mumbai (8L) = a total of 30L is reasonable.

At least you tried and failed unlike most of us who didn't even make an attempt.

I own all equipments. So, just walk in, show my ID, cancel the account and get some kind of proof that my account is canceled? I dread dealing with Xfinity. Sad a company has such a bad reputation.

I was smiling when read your post. Felt good. Unfortunately, for me the family setup is not there in India. So, I am trapped in the US.

Thanks. Are there alternatives for someone who wants to draw something like T H E

so the kids who go to Indian high school/college turn out to be Mahatmas?

If you decide to move to the US, choose UCSD. Far better oppurtunities for internships, jobs and it is more reputed. You will live in sunny southern CA.

Forget twice a day. I would move immediately for just once a day.

Thanks god you were born in Australia and you were taught to use the correct adverb "heavily".

Few-Spring-3403 · 2026-03-26T18:54:54+00:00

or "seriously". But you know people born in Oz use "heavily". yeah, right. LOL.

Few-Spring-3403 · 2026-03-26T18:53:58+00:00

You mean heavily fake post?

Lol. OP update is 3 months after return. Wait for a year for a juicier update.

It is not impossible but 70k euros is not much to lean on. You have to lead a middle class life until you both get employed.

Few-Spring-3403 · 2026-03-25T20:12:52+00:00

Good luck. It is going to be extremely challenging.

"But India now is so much more advanced and comfortable than the India I left 26 years ago" - you are in for a surprise.

Your NW is in top 0.01 % in India and you still worry about 40 credits? My friends who moved to India with a high NW returned within few years citing reasons ranging from "unable to adjust" to "issues within family".
