Hello. Need advice. I work in San Diego and am from Lubbock. I come from a Indian family, I have been on my own for 4 years now, but ever since work from home started, family has been wanting me to work from Texas. I moved back last April. I am used to being on my own but every time I mention about it, they say that family is important and want me to stay. It’s really making word hard because I don’t like to start my day at 11 am ct instead of 9am pst. Would rather be in Cali. What should I do?

You should leave. The temporary displeasure they’re going to express will subside and you’ll visit when you can. Tell them you need to go back to work in office if that helps you somehow.

E2 Sure. Visa/GC disproportionately impacts Desis.

It’s also a bowl that understands Desi culture and can be better suited for questions like this.

If family was so important to them, why did they leave India and settle on the opposite end of the world?

I absolutely LOVE my family and very close to them. But need some space to grow into your own being.

And if that isn’t reason enough, Lubbock vs San Diego! Seriously?! Even the Mayor of Lubbock would know the right answer here.
