EP-01 | Why he left Meta London & moved back to India!

[@ShivaSomapur]

That "Everybody is in a hurry, yet no one is on time" joke was hilarious.

[@100GB]

Indeed. I heard it directly from that foreigner. It's a super funny but absolutely correct observation!

Mandatory attendance from NIT KKR, Thanks for great content!. KZbin stopped recommending me your channel for a long time, today found back this when I was watching out my subsrciptions. Keep it up sir!

Ha ha! Please share with your batchmates!

[@dikshabhola8271]

An interesting perspective!

[@Nimbus2k_rider]

Awesome podcast

[@PThombare-u1p]

He basically accepted an offer to take voluntary exit when Meta was laying off. Many companies do that in the UK and candidates are compensated handsomely. I am sure other reasons also pushed for the move but financial reasons look more compelling than anything else.

Why moving back to India is big thing. Clean air and Clean road looks good for few months then the normal work starts to hurt. You have to do all the stuff yourself and there is no help and small thing start to look big. Also life can be lonely as you wont get so many friends. Salary wise except USA , there won't be a lot more saving elsewhere as the tax in the rest of country is too high.

[@100GB]

Yeah!

UK Pros - Good culture - Good work life balance and good leadership in corp offices - People are good, humble, generally - Good civic sense - Good public infra, trains, buses etc - Health care generally works for old and children - People value and respect time UK Cons - Weather, 9 months cold - Socialistic salaries, capitalistic expenses - High taxes - Not much career opportunities and growth - You will feel you are penalized for working hard and being ambitious - Schooling is free, but you are not going to put your kid to public school - If you earn more than 35-40 LPA in India while still being under 30 or 35, you dont have to go out of India IMO. - If you are young, parents are not too old, you can explore UK, make sure to negotiate salaries upwards of 85K, or else it will be a big degrade in life. - No matter what salary you go to UK on, weather will trouble you if you are born and brought up in India, its 9 months of harsh cold.
