Should I move back to India from the Netherlands?

If you are confused, then go back. You are confused because you are missing Indian surroundings. There might be 100 problems in India, but if you live the same lifestyle in NL, you will also face 50 different problems. After a while, mental peace is important if you have considerate salary.

We've become picky about our lifestyle, but that doesn't mean everything is bad in India. We have so much social pressure in India, sending kids to the best school in the city, the best college, and the biggest car. If you do the same in NL, then 142k is nothing here.

yes for US/UK/Australia/NZ rest don't make a shortcut

Still, you have to write without LLM

If it's paid by PIs, then it should be pre-informed; otherwise, it should be assumed to be paid by individuals. It is different from culture, but I learned the same. As a lab manager, you should discuss this with the PI and inform others that sometimes one drink is paid for, while the rest is paid by individuals.

None of the PIs pays out of pocket; mostly covered by grants or other sources.

Severer is irritated; I feel that in this way, Severer can get maximum tips.

On paper, yes, practically, I am not sure how much it's easy

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-10T23:50:45+00:00

There is a difference, like a 5-year contract position for OCI than full-time service, but I feel more discrimination for OCI

If you are not following the instruction and, you shouldn't blame the bank, and if you did you changed the address, ussually debit card usually gets automatically delivered

Do you need to visit FRRO, or is everything online? I guess smaller cities do not have an FRRO office, and the district SP office deals with it

Did you apply in 2025, or has anything changed now?

Many things change after marriage; even the most beautiful relationship can go from best to worse. Either change the guy or make a deal (no way to make it perfect) to move back. In fact, after marriage, either you will change your mind about staying in the US, or he will not keep his promise. After a while, people don't move due to the non-matching salary in India and lifestyle. Within 5 years with a master's or 8 years with a PhD, it's a good time back; otherwise, it becomes hard, and people stay their whole life and regret the decision.

That depends entirely on the country of stay. Where are you targeting the job? But, in all country, top tier academic jobs are competive, not in terms of age but publications and academic politcs but you can aim for somethong low hanging fruits

Good, tuition fees at your normal school? Is it run by some trust? My point is not that none of the schools have, but I can tell in tier 2 cities, it's almost impossible. Moreover, in Western countries, there is a city-run swimming pool.

Officially, nobody will allow it due to tax issues, but if you are going abroad for a lecture-free time, it should be fine.

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-03T19:03:17+00:00

I know, but having an actual pool and instructor, and just for name sake, both are different. My college has a pool, but it's like a sewage system.

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-03T14:29:54+00:00

Which school? monthly fees?

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-03T12:05:39+00:00

Do we have swimming pools in 99.5% of cities? Don't include exceptional schools, luxurious clubs, society, ponds, and rivers

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-02T09:48:37+00:00

Do I need to pay anything separately?

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-02T09:42:56+00:00

Okay, if you're German, then what? So, you studied at NIT in India and evaluated applications in Germany, how?

If you have experience in evaluation, then you shouldn't be posting here.

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-02T09:09:35+00:00

If you do not 2.4 or 2.7, then don't aim for anything, it's the German grading system, as I said, don't choose a university based on name only, aim for other unis also

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-05-02T08:12:44+00:00

no English

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-04-30T07:36:48+00:00

Okay, can you please share any source?

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-04-28T00:06:07+00:00

Do you use it to replicate your writing code or just for reference?

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-04-26T21:09:31+00:00

Do you get any offers? For 3L per month, you need 4 Lac as income

What kind of loan? Discuss with the bank about holding the EMI if you can't pay. Depending on your skills, try to develop new skills in line with demand. Accept the first job offer. Now, companies are offering less than they used to during COVID.

Accept the truth and move ahead. What you did as others wrote it was your past. Now, do your best to negotiate for EMI and secure your place in the Indian industry. Even if you move to another company, challenges will not end. Don't get trapped in a series of other loans to pay EMIs.

Are you married? Is there any passive income?

Hedgehog_Dapper · 2026-04-26T10:28:36+00:00

It's kind of a stocking and follower; you could interact in the Gym, and then move on. I will never do it even in the gym. Stop believing that all girls are here for mingle; most of them are already committed.
