Have any of you moved countries for a better personal life? I'm Indian (living in India) and in my mid 20s. Evaluating a job offer close to home which I'm moderately excited about. The other option is to continue in my current role (which I hate) and try to move overseas (via another job or Masters). Taking the new job pushes this back by at least a few years. Not sure I want to move abroad anymore either tbh - it would only be to improve my chances of finding someone. Career wise, I'm ok here.

Try studying abroad. You can experience something new, it gives you flexibility to pursue work abroad more easily, and you can temporarily test your ability to date cross-culturally and be away from family. Worst case, you return to India with a nice credential that improves your local career prospects.

Yep will do. Thanks! :)

I moved to the US at age 30. Was already out in India to family and friends. Was set on staying close to parents for life, but decided one day that I must try living in the US for a change and if it doesn't work out, I'll move back.

It's been going well thus far. My parents visit often for long duration, I have a BF here (never intended to be in a relationship, but here we are) and I like being away from some of the chaos in India. Too early to say anything, but would prefer to stay here for atleast 10 more years.

Yeah, to be honest, I'm not keen on the US. Would be Canada, Aus or some place in Europe. I'm not as keen on maximizing earning potential - just want to find someone and settle down, but of course that's never guaranteed anywhere.

Very conflicted. I also want to stay closer to my parents, but I'm wondering if I'm letting my future self down in the process by restricting my dating prospects. I don't plan to have kids or anything like that, so there is no timeline. I just see my friends (LGBTQ and otherwise) taking the plunge and moving abroad. I know social media doesn't represent the full reality, but I get jealous / feel stuck sometimes.

May I ask where in India are you in and if you are out?

I was in the same shoes, but chose to explore living in the US (did masters here) because I wanted a job change and wanted some LGBTQ+ visibility in my life. I wasn't really dating in India as I was in the closet- the stigma was a big factor for me.

I've been with my boyfriend for about 2 years now. I only get to see him on the weekend because we have opposite working schedules during the week. But I've noticed his family asking him for help on stuff on the weekend and he tends to try to fit it in some way. This annoys me since he sees his family throughout the week but my only quality time is on the weekends. He also hasn't been doing anything to get him closer to his life goals because his family always asks him for his time and money....

up for a dream job (sr. creative strat at a top pub's content studio). been tasked with creating a custom program for a big social media/tech co. any must-haves i should include in a pitch like this?

I am purchasing a home and my boyfriend wants in on the deal as a co-owner. It is only me on the mortgage. We are planning on writing up a co-ownership agreement with a 60%/40% split and yes he will be paying 40% of the mortgage, down payment, and property taxes etc. He wants to be on the title as a tenant in common to reflect that %. Is that fair? I just want to make sure I’m protected but I also understand that if he’s paying all this money, he wants some security as well
