Hey guys, need your genuine thoughts.

Im 32M married having 10 YOE as data engineer and my cctc is 65lpa. Wife is also working @ 20lpa.

I see people working in US/UK - having fun and making money as couple together there. I frequently get this FOMO feeling of not doing good like them.

Just wanted to know if I am really missing onto something ? Both in terms of life experiences and also monetary wise? Should I really try to move to US/UK?

Please suggest.

Are you serious? It seems you posted this to give others FOMO.

Bro, I think you need to read again what you have written, you will find it funny too. You both are earning almost 85 lpa and you still have FOMO and you think that people are having fun in other countries? With this much earning you can have trips abroad and have fun too, why do you need to settle in other country with less earning?

clearly you haven't met non-tech professionals like us who make less than 7lpa with chronic medical problems with medical bills consuming half of the salary, with mobility issues, stuck in a single room,
no?
dude you are more privileged than 98% of us out there
bask in the blessings man

cheers!

yes people in US/UK have much better standard and quality of life. Their countries and nearby countries are worthy of travel, clean air clean water. Have you travelled in India?

everywhere its dirty and polluted. its sad to see ganga ji also being polluted all temples are so crowded and dirty and smelly.

you should try moving to US/uk

TIA!
