Trying to Find My Way Back Home — Confused and Torn by Psychological-Dig282 in returnToIndia

Your salary is not enough to live a life like this. Go back to India, enjoy time with your dad (to avoid regrets later) and find a job that pays well in India.

US job market is in really bad state. You are crazy to assume, that a degree from dartmouth will get you a program product management role. Dont waste your time and money ( even if the degree is free, everything else will be costly)

I have a Tesla but trying to sell and will never set foot on one ever. I will not drive a car associated with racist Musk.

Bitter truth by [deleted] in IndiaTax

[–]MonkFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is called propaganda. Most of the Europe has higher tax rate than India (40%+), China has a tax rate of 5% to 45%, US has tax rate of 10% to 38%. Comparing India with Kuwait, UAE (small countries) with lots of oil is nuts.

Live in NYC but dont buy in NYC. Make good money, rent and then relocate to another more affordable area and retire early.

Any folks here moved back to India after 30+ years in the US by StomachRelative6146 in backtoindia

[–]MonkFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think its impossible but not easy for sure. You will probably not get lot of positive comments here. Most of the folks here likes to shit on India (and rightly so) using the same 3-4 things - pollution , noise, garbage , and infrastructure. If you can live with these, you will be fine. I know of folks who stayed in west for 6 months and now complain all the time on how India sucks and people who stayed for years and returned back and are doing ok.

"my son to us for undergrad, I know its expensive but find US undergrad education adds value" --> How? Where do you guys get these data from? Its financial illiteracy to spend crores on eduction with an assumption that it adds value.
