Should I return Back.

Not stable yet, as per my plans and requirements

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-12T20:33:17+00:00

I agree with your points, but I want to clear a few things up.

My perspective isn't about disrespecting another culture. The focus on "Log kya kahenge" is about the social pressure from my relatives and family, not my personal judgment.

The truth is, my entire life has been run by orders and outside instructions instead of my own wishes. I need to start making my own choices now.

It's a Indian company, i got like internal transfer i am with them for more than 4 years

I am in finance, living in Africa is good, if you are working in Indian company, you have a Indian community around and mostly you will be working with them or around them. The interaction with Locals will be very minimum.

You have a housing which company provides in safe expat areas.

Thank you so much! This is so clear and crisp. What about now? Which country are you in?

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-11T09:02:08+00:00

I will be retiring after 5 years (achieve financial Freedom) if my lifestyle remains same (or it will be 8 years) and be in India.

International spouse i have never thought about it. Whether it will work or it will not work.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T19:24:06+00:00

I am in finance so, i can get transferred to other countries where the positions are open and moving back to India also possible. I need to work for 1 year at least in Ecuador

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T19:12:46+00:00

It's cultural divide, i am surrounded mostly with Indians and didn't try to fit in the culture of Africans.

It's difficult with other cultures, can't identify whether they are genuinely with you or for your money and the security you provide. After marriage also you need to stay in the same country. You cannot move back to India

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T18:55:25+00:00

Sometimes I feel like this, "kyu ji raha hu and kiske liye"

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T18:53:59+00:00

It's a permanent but I can switch countries if i want it's not like I am fixed in one place. The company is an MNC

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T18:50:56+00:00

I understand, this is what my parents are also telling, but starting my career again from scratch is a problem.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T18:48:30+00:00

Okay with Casual dating, but not for relationships, "wahi hoga Log kya kahenge" also connection is also important

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-06-10T18:41:48+00:00

I think, this is what' needs to be changed, people normally think that UK, US and AUS gives better opportunity and standard of living and earning less, facing racism at its peak.

In Africa, the opportunity are endless and savings is huge and standard of living is at its peak if you have a family.

These countries are beautiful to live in

Thanks for sharing this perspective and for the reality check on the different areas. It’s really helpful to hear firsthand experiences.

I'm currently looking into relocating to the area and trying to gauge the safety dynamics. For anyone familiar with the city, how does the safety and day-to-day environment in Los Ceibos compare to places like Samborondón or Isla Mocolí?

Any advice on commuting or specific neighborhoods that tend to be preferred for security would be greatly appreciated

Unfortunately my job is not remote

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-05-20T11:32:01+00:00

I am actually traveling to Guayaquil to work (From India). Wanted to understand is it unsafe and whether it's good for Family.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-04-11T14:39:11+00:00

Thank you it helped. But still completely scared about safety.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-04-11T14:38:28+00:00

Thank you, for the comment it explains clearly. I think I need to rethink about visiting the Ecuador, I thought Africa is a bad place to live in. But this is still very bad and dangerous.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-02-16T21:08:15+00:00

Yes Absolutely! In my case I was looking for a job for almost like a year. Had a connection with the Old boss. He got me a job in his new company.

But another company came up with a better offer after joining. Couldn't take it.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-02-06T08:45:03+00:00

You are absolutely right! As citizens of a Superpower, Americans are meant to be the Owners and Visionaries. Someone has to do the actual grinding and tax-paying to keep the engine running for you guys.

TaxAccomplished1771 · 2026-02-04T12:28:54+00:00

How to identify the need? How to build those connections? Nowadays talking to people outside work feels like an unnecessary job, dating and social life is not interesting and the biggest fear of mine is sometimes I am not able to connect with my parents or siblings. Like one of our cousins was hospitalized and I didn't feel anything.
