Hi Fishes,

Need your suggestions. 39 LPA in India vs 70k GBP in London... Which one should I choose? Also please note that my wife is working in India and she is currently earning 32 LPA in India... She will need to search for a job if I move to London...

India hands down. I've been in UK for a couple years. 70k in London is like earning 12lpa in India. You can have a decent lifestyle and a little savings. If your wife too can get a job which pays as much or more then it's worth considering with just the quality of life as the criteria. But considering the pay you guys are getting in India, I wouldn't suggest UK. If you're sure you can get a job in India with the same pay or more then you can travel to the UK just for an international exposure, visiting European countries and return back to India after a couple years or more.

India is better without any doubt unless you are willing to compromise on lifestyle and money but onsite exposure is important.

Thanks a lot for the valuable suggestion

1. Wife - if u r getting a skilled visa, it's very easy for her to get a job bcz she doesn't need visa and employers in UK prefer ppl who don't need a visa.
2. 70Gbp is enuf for 2 persons in UK, most ppl working in London don't live in London bcz of the high charges of rent, etc. They live in nearby places like Maidenhead, etc.

I'm also going through a similar situation. Except, I am single and in India I earn 34 in India. I've 6 yoe, and Deloitte offered me 65k.

I think you are are earning pretty well in India and considering each year there will be salary increase. London is expensive city, so your wife also needs to gets decent salary job there.
