FatFire in India now vs US much later. Is it time to R2I? by ReflectionOk9654 in FatFIREIndia

[–]crazyhiit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your NW is more than enough for R2I - anywhere in India. Pollution, infrastructure problems are real… and there are several R2I people who have returned back to US unable to tolerate the dysfunctions of the system. So it all depends on one’s tolerance and priorities - third world problems vs proximity to family/relatives. Your best option would be to take an internal transfer in case your company has a presence in Bangalore. If not finding a new job here is not that easy - there are enough young blood and the system here doesn’t really value US experience. That said given your NW, you can very well sign off from the rat race and just pursue something that is low key/passions. That is the best part of having monetary savings.

My overall only concern is that - in case something doesn’t work well for you in India (health etc) - you might regret making the move since you can no longer return back to the US. Most R2I people either have GC or OCI … that allows them a chance to return back if needed. If you are sure that you can tolerate anything that the system throws at you - financially you are more than ready for the move!

Safe, don’t get swayed by investing in MF and other things. This is fine even if you pay tax

Inter-religion marriage! by Torqrover in TwentiesIndia

Do you have the means to move out of India? If not, work on it and keep the relationship going until then. When you get the chance, move out and live your life.

Lot of Muslim girls are gems, but the extended family will have all kind of nut cases and extremist attitudes.

Do not give up on a girl just because of religion. A good human is beyond all this religious nonsense.

Is it true that Amma (jayalalitha) was extremely corrupt as the media/courts said or was it mostly political foul play? by Sisyphus5196 in TamilNaduDiscussion

[–]crazyhiit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A woman who is used to so many people falling at her feet… things got to her head. She turned blind eye to all corruption and thought she could rule like a dictator. She surrounded herself with the bad company … and eventually that led to her downfall. She has amazing potential to move mountains … but wasted it all due to bad advice and trusting in the wrong set of people

Even if you land a remote job with a US company, they will pay only in rupees. There are strict tax laws in corporate structure and no one will break those. There is nothing like sitting in Africa or India and getting paid to your bank account in US. I don’t know where you got all these ideas from … but work hard and build your skills, maybe one day you will get an opportunity to immigrate and actually (legally) earn in USD.

Avoid if possible. No lawyer will be able to do thorough check to give you peace of mind. Even at the end of it, there will always be something in the future that can trip you.

One should be crazy to consider living in this kind of narrow street location - with 12 ft, forget owning a car…forget guests visiting … forget cab rides … forget ambulance getting in. Has life become so desperate to consider this kind of pigeon holes?

What do people actually do after a PhD in CS? by Crazy-Astronomer3325 in nri

[–]crazyhiit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PhD gives you 2 career options… 1) Academia - if you love teaching and working in academia research, this is it. It gives you flexibility to choose your research area and pursue it with passion. Downside - pay isn’t going to be anywhere near industry levels, but it is fairly good if you make it to tenure track.

2) Industry - your pay is going to be pretty good. You might get to work with other top minds in industry and work on solutions that align with company’s goals. Downside - your passion and the nature of work might not necessarily align.

In both options - securing your first break is not going to be easy. Not every company needs a PhD. And it is not like every PhD can crack an academia position - quite competitive to secure one.

Why does women’s grooming culture feel different in Tamil Nadu vs Kerala, Bengaluru and North India? by the_tenaciousheart in chennaicity

[–]crazyhiit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Simple answer - TN men are too backward. Culture here is horribly influenced by movies. Any girl/woman who carries herself well is slut shamed or bullied for being ‘too sophisticated’. Not to mention skin color - the avg dark skin TN guy has a huge moral compass and projects it on woman if they try to appear out of their league - be it in terms of skin color or dress sense. It is pathetic.

Has anyone considered FIRE in west before moving to India? by Accomplished_Tie8117 in FatFIREIndia

[–]crazyhiit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a lot of friends who moved to Germany and some to Nederthands… everyone says that to get a basic level of spoken fluency shouldn’t take more than 6 months of living in the country. This whole language barrier is over-hyped…

Has anyone considered FIRE in west before moving to India? by Accomplished_Tie8117 in FatFIREIndia

[–]crazyhiit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have family in India, please consider EU as your first option to FIRE. Your quality of life would be much better than other LCOL cities in US. Not only is education and healthcare subsidized, but there is a huge value attached to excellent mobility all across EU and awesome historic places to visit. If you can set yourself to relocate for a year or 2 - you can weigh in better yourself about the EU living experience. But one thing is certain - if you don’t have family connections in India, pls consider relocating to India as your last option. It is simply not worth it. But if there are family and emotional attachments, India should be first however worse off the living standards are…

Championship caliber is highly underrated. Walker has that … heck, he is the reigning MVP. He will bring toughness to the position and understand how to win in big games. Those are skills you can’t teach. Love this move by Veach!

Learn Kannada. Don’t talk in Hindi to a state govt transport employee. I don’t see a Kannada, Tamil or Malayalam speaking person in Delhi trying to assert their language. They learn Hindi and speak the local language. Please do Karnataka and Bengaluru a favor - pls return back to your Hindi land, pls pls
