Dude, how can you expect someone to give you rational answer w/o knowing how much you will be getting in USD?
100K is average salary!
People who are saying ask 180K or 200K or higher salary.. They aren't aware that you getting H1B opportunity from your comp. They must have some standard set for sending people onsite.
And as far as I know, it will be below 100K but still a good offer to get onsite exposure
If you have greater than 10 years of experience, ask at least 150000 USD to make it. If lower, then try for 120K. Anything less than 100K would be difficult to survive, unless you are getting an L1 visa and your spouse can work in the US too!
Thanks, but to say, I have H1B and 100k is what I have heard from previous goers, that's why the confusion, to go or not
If your wife is working, stay in India.
If not , go to US. Initially the savings will be less , but you can switch companies and increase your savings later.
So, by clicking like implies going to US or stay here ? 😊
What’s your background and yoe?
Background - Sr Product Owner US Healthcare
YOE - 12 years
First analyse the cost of living across different cities and states in the US. Based on that, u can decide if it's good or not
Hi there,
Deciding to move abroad, especially for a role like Product Owner/Manager in the US, is a significant career step with various pros and cons. Here’s a breakdown of things to consider:
1. Salary & Financials: Moving to the US on an H1B visa can lead to a substantial increase in gross pay, as salaries for Product Owners/Managers in the US are often much higher. Depending on location (especially in high-cost cities like San Francisco or New York), you could expect a significant salary jump. That said, taxes, healthcare, and the cost of living can also be quite high, so it's worth comparing net pay after these deductions.
2. Career Growth & Exposure: The US tech industry offers a lot of exposure, working with diverse teams and potentially handling larger budgets and responsibilities. This can enhance your skill set, and the international experience can be valuable on your resume for future roles in the US or globally.
3. Long-Term Prospects: Experience as a Product Owner/Manager in the US can open doors for future roles or promotions, whether you stay in the US or return to India. Many companies value international experience, and it may even position you for leadership roles back home if you decide to return.
4. Personal Factors: Being away from family, adjusting to a new culture, and navigating the visa system are important factors. Consider your family situation, your ability to adjust to a new environment, and the impact on your personal life.
5. Economic Stability & Currency Advantage: Earnings in USD and potential savings can provide a currency advantage, especially if you have plans to invest or save back in India.
6. Job Security with H1B: On an H1B visa, job security can be a factor, as the visa is often tied to employment status. If you’re laid off, you’ll have a limited time to find a new job or return to India.
In summary:
If your goal is career growth, international exposure, and financial gain, moving to the US might be a great step.
If you prioritize stability, being near family, or are unsure about adjusting to the US, staying in India could be better.
Hope this helps!

Which company brother?
I had a similar package in India just moved to the US some months back on 100k . But I would definitely recommend not to move unless you are single .
Even I am thinking of coming back . If you are married combined income should be more than 150k to have a decent life.
Am married and have a kid. Though my wife is not working.
Now what's your opinion on this situation ?
My initial thoughts are to come alone for some months and then call them here
This is not the time to go to the US with layoffs happening all across the board. How are you even making a decision without knowing the salary being offered?
100k with family is very tight. Also depends if you have a school going kid, as you'll need to live in an area with good schools. Cost of living is crazy in San Francisco Bay Area and NYC
Company is sending me on H1B, and so far I know 90-95 and most probably going to be in Nashville or Denver
