But even with it people dont get stressed due to less micromanagement.

There are no work-life balance issues in good tech companies (Intel, Cisco, Qualcomm, Unilever etc), and the quality of education in IB schools is very good. Yes, many Indians would have given up on their citizenships, but in my social circle, many who were working abroad came back here because life is better here after a certain income level. Also, many do not even accept opportunities to go aboard because they will have to give up on their set life here. And PPP really makes you rethink about opportunities abroad when your income in India is also high. In short, wherever you decide to stay, if your income is high you will be content and happy.

I agree with a lot of things you've said about India and do feel that it's become much harder for freshers looking for jobs now compared to back in '09 when I got into the job market. With that said, I wonder if in your comparison of a $100k salary in NYC v/s India, you aren't using your own experience from 10 years ago to judge. Because post QE, real estate prices and rentals shot up in the US and especially in NYC and Silicon Valley. So a $100k salary today in these places won't fetch what it used to, which means you have to compete for $200k+ jobs. And this is harder now with recession in the US as well. None of which is to say it is a bad idea to pursue a career in the US, especially in fields where they're doing better and more impactful work than in India but that people should know the reality of what it means to go there today vis a vis up to 2008 or so.

Great. My two sons are in US and they are doing well. They echo the same sentiments and as a parent I appreciate your views. The main issue is, we Indians confuse patriotism and its symbolism. Staying back is not the only symbol of patriotism. Going out, winning in a competetive world and then helping the motherland from wherever you are--after chieving your potential--is also patriatism. There can be nothing more satisfying than individual growth which results in give-back to India. Well said.

1) Immigration to US doesnt have labours like those in Middle East; hence high earning potential and growth. 2) Number of citizenship granted is a measure of people who left India 8-15 years ago. If anyone has spent so much time, they tend to invest in houses, kids schooling takes priority and finding jobs in India takes time. Majority of the people who opt for other passport is for the travel flexibility 3. Satya Nadela and Sunder Pichai left India 20+ years ago. Condition wasnt great at the time. 4. Work culture is similar. Every chance they get, they will ask you when you would leave the country. There is always a glass ceiling in terms of promotions. 5. Educational institutions are transforming. PG schools in India have one of the best quality infrastructure. Dont compare what you get in US, you wonldnt be willing to pay that much tuition fees in India. 6. All this topics arent about people under poverty line. They arent looking to immigrate. They get free food, free medical as opposed to 12+ hours queue and more US$ 50,000 expense everytime you visit a hospital.. 7. Inequality in wealth is global phenomenon. 8.. anyway.. you are trying to secure your business.

(The fact is recent student's debt waiver grim government is a short terminal bailout for the huge debt students are carrying on them) So please don't claim as a balanced view if you can't put it straight. Secondly, about resources I agree that US is resourcesful. You are comparing a 21 T versus 4T economy. Yet I would highlight that the technology India has now a days is almost at par with that in the US. Don't know who taught you in India I am proud of of all my teachers back in India and owing to which I landed a direct scientist job in the US.Only Disgruntled would be those who blew their parents money in doing an expensive MS and didn't get a job and are burned with education loan back home. And about Pichai and all, just leave them alone. They have achieved it all in the US and can't be yardstick for everything. To me in early 2000s India was a decade behind the US for now its mere 5 years behind and we will close the gap soon than any of us can think.

[@shobanasebastian7186]

@Nik GAL - I am an American Citizen with Indian Origin this is my personal opinion and experience. So this is something what no one talks about but every one says that Indians are the most successful immigrants in America. The people coming on H1B visa’s always worry about getting a green card but my question is what difference does it make? All the high paying IT jobs are either given to the H1B employees or being outsourced. I had a decent IT job when I was in India. But it’s hard to believe that it’s impossible to get the same position or job in America being an American citizen. Its all outsourced or for H1B. And they do get paid really well. Where as American citizens has to either study harder in the highly expensive Universities at a mid age or start a business which may work or may not. So why is it seen as a challenge for H1B visas when they are already in the US living their dream and hoping to get a green card and eventually a citizenship. H1B holders do get privilege what a citizen don’t get. Why they want a citizenship in a foreign land away from their loved ones and missing out all the fun in their own country. Nothing comes without a cost.

[@Calzonerip]

@@shobanasebastian7186 Agree H1b does give them job and money they wanted and also they save alot. But every few year boom bust cycle bring insecurity in the back of mind about loosing job heading back unplanned and also obvious travel issue with visa stamping and all with green card processing time in decades people fear for their aging out children their retirement. I guess those who are not close to greencard and considering fresh to settle in another country may think twice. It depends in individual choice also i think if someone want make some extra money for few years and go back. Just consider carefully when thinking long term because when the time comes and you have limited choices may lead to regrets nothing to discourage anyone.

Guys let me hoenstly tell you, the cost of education at a private liberal arts college in the USA is family ruining (~1.5 CR)! I ruined my and my families life by going there and I was a sincere student. The problem is that these colleges accept people not only on marks but on Essays. If you're a good writer you'll get in. But you might not be talented enough to do well in your major. Its the opposite problem of Indian competitive institutes. I went there and took physics because I wanted to be a scientist and knew I had no chance in India. However I didn't know that in college even after studying 4 hours a days i will just barely pass. I ruined my health trying to keep up and all parents savings. Now I'm back and cant get a job. For me it was the worst decision of my life. I could have just focused on health and happiness in high school, taken hotel management in India and lived a modest but happy and healthy life without any guilt of ruining my family. To be fair there are also some of my indian classmates who partied like crazy in college but still got good marks and now work for Google and have very very high salaries. But in my experience for private liberal arts colleges on aggregate only 3 out of 10 are successful. The rest just wasted their parents money. I've seen even Ivy league graduates suffer the same ruin. Don't go if you have to pay full tuition and your family's networth outside primary residence and business networth is less than 15 crore. Please don't. You'll be unable to live with the guilt. Edit: Also people will shame you for coming back as a failure for coming back empty handed. If you're 200% sure you can get a job and somehow win the H1b lottery /manage a phd then go for it. Otherwise urban india also has options. And no shame involved. Edit 2: Yes quality of professors at (good) private liberal arts colleges is Ivy league level! I was taught physics by David Griffiths himself! But I also feel at the undergraduate level sciene and math is mostly still learnt by text books. At berkely I hear that people watch lecture videos which I feel highlights the redundancy of lecturers at the undergraduate level. The education process in the US is amazing of course but it isn't cost effective and not worth it if you're nor wealthy. What I valued the most was there was 0 ragging and no curfew. I was respected like an adult and could leave my dorm whenever I wanted. And teachers didn't make sarcastic comments. But nor did the students misbehave which I admired. When i sat in a few lectures at DU I was disappointed to see students actively chitchating and on their phones. Very very rare in my college but I hear in US state colleges (not prestigious) it's common.

I didn't go to private liberal college, but to a decent university fir a Masters program in Information Systems, but had to return , this was from 2006 to 2008 and I returned in 2010 as I couldn't secure H1B full time position, was not sure or motivated that time about PhD.

Reed is a pricy college and I can imagine how difficulty it would be for an Indian parents to support (Steve Jobs drop out of Reed because he said he initially didn't realize how expensive it was, and after 6 moths he drops, realizing it's too expensive for his middle class American parents to support). Undergrad in US is extremely intense and tough, it's not like Indian University where you can study just before exam and pass with good marks. It's a complete different ballgame. Everyday class, quiz, homework and exam load and then several courses running parallel, all together is too intense and stressful. But US students are habituated with such intense pressure and stress since high school. But for Indian student it would be daunting to manage course load. I think you should Give GRE and and come back to US. Since you have a Physics major from Reed (does it mater whether you barely passed as as long you passed, as degree from Reed is highly valued in physics academia in US), most likely with a good GRE score you will forgiven for bad grades in undergrad and can get a PhD positions in physics/computer science/chemistry. Visa is not a problem for PhD (F1), and once you finish, you will get job immediately (too many jobs nowadays for physics grad), and will get GC immediately under special category (no limit & instant, not like 17 yr wait for software people). Another option is that you can do masters from DU or from some university (does not matter which one) in India just to pick up the grade little-bit and then give GRE.

You have highlighted the positive side of migrating aboad for better work culture and very good quality of life, but ultimately countries like US, Europe, Australia benefit much more than India as all those who are migrating are highly intellectual and skilled people which are being used by those countries only to benefit more to them, If in India work culture, quality of life is not good, then it needs to improved, we cannot remain complacent just because migrated people send their hard earned money to their relatives back in India. It is just like laboureres are migrating from backward areas like Bihar, Jharkhand, Odissha, U.P. to Mumbai and Delhi and some South Indian Cities, they too earn better than what they can earn there in home state, but has that status changed over the last 20 to 30 years. Those states are still backward in terms of education, healthcare, law and order, and lot many other things. Same way compare our country with other developed countries, we still lag far behind them and will continue to lag unless all those negative things for which our people are migrating is not taken care of. Who is responsible for all this situation, ofcource not the people who are migrating, because the very same people do exceptionally well when they go abroad, so the problem lies within ourselves, but unfortunately our country is being plundered by cheap criminal minded politicians who in turn try to deflect the focus from real issues to fake religious issues and fake patrotiasm etc..
