Keep us posted on your thought process. There are quite a few of us struggling with that decision

I went back. Its simple, if you belong there you’ll do just fine. I am doing great, also making more money after i’ve settled down. Not everyone will make more money but you could have a better quality of life

Gt1 - share real numbers. How much you made in the US, how much you make now and where are you settled.

My husband, now 37, is a result of parents who came to the US had huge success in business and then moved back. He was born in LA and moved to India when he was 4. Came back to US for school when he was 17 & has been here since. His two older sisters found their way back to the US as well, one through school and another through marriage. The family enjoys traveling back and forth. I will say as a first gen married to someone like this, I see the siblings make decisions/fall into mistakes that my parents generation did as immigrants, & I see him wish that his parents were also in the US as well just for proximity and them understanding what he goes thru..

So long story less long, might be easy now for you to move back, but your kids may run back to the US as soon as they get the chance so the growing pains you’re experiencing now might just get pushed down a generation

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Hello! Need some advice. Trying to move to SOs city and EY does not have a big base in the city so i was told the move won't happen. But i am finding it hard to strategize my job search.

I just want to say to the Indian managers / SMs etc. stop taking everything so seriously and stressing people out on your teams. I have had managers who put initiative work so high in importance that it stresses me out about client work. Chill out and stop emailing on weekends. Hang out with your families! Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!
