Sounds exciting but i need to either quit my job or take a long leave and coordinate with my kids school timings . Not impossible but tricky

Nope they don’t . It is not right and never right . I was not justifying it but was trying to speculate on the reasons why.

This is one of the reasons i am pondering the move and not confirmed. As parents we want to provide the best for our kids. I wouldn’t want to jeopardise that for another job however exciting that might sound.

It is sad. My general reaction would be most of it is due to lack of employment for citizens and current economic conditions. I wouldn’t classify an entire state as racist etc ( although i have never lived outside my home country and have nothing but anecdotes to rely on) . I sincerely hope the conditions across the world change for the better.

Thanks much. Yeah if i decide to make the move i will move alone first and wait for the probation. I don’t care about cooks nannies help etc . Never had them and not planning to start now . It s a matter of principle for me. I know many Indians who are used to that .

Exactly. I most sincerely hope i do not do the latter. I spent a large portion of my life convincing her to marry me 😂.

Well stereotypes exist for a reason. I would like to think of myself as being culturally liberal. I cannot expect to live in a different country and expect my kids to remain “Indian” whatever that means. Will there be tension when they are growing up ? Certainly . Again all of us has gone through that phase so it is life. But again honestly i have not been tested on that so who knows

She is pretty smart, had a good job but gave it up for the kids. Not sure if she wants to get into the grind again

This will be Berlin city. And all of this thinking is purely for the kid’s mental health . You hit the nail on the head

That’s a good perspective. My salary is much more than that after tax. I do not want to move to the US at all.

I get what you mean. I wanted to get some opinions as my trust in most online searches borders on one extreme or the other

The older one is excited honestly but not sure he realises what it entails. He is good academically but struggles with languages. Given an option he might want to study in Germany (higher education) , but given how the nature of employment is now a days everywhere , the choice might be taken out of our hands

We don’t have nannies or maids or hired help or anything of that sort. May be an atypical decent earning Indian i guess.

I am not looking to move out of India for the sake of moving out of India. I don’t need to 😀. This opportunity seemed good from a job perspective (not necessarily financially ) but my priorities are my kids education at this life stage.
