1. US VHCOL: 120k USD min. gross to save 30k USD (24L INR).
2. UK VHCOL (London): 80k GBP min. gross to save 25k GBP (24L INR).
3. In PPP terms, 120k USD ~ 25L INR while 42L INR ~180k USD. 150k+ is achievable but depends on city (see below).
4. Given a choice, pick US over UK. Salaries & taxes in US is better. Also UK's QROPs are painful, in the US you can just rollover all 401ks into an IRA.
5. No opinions on CA.

Assumptions: unmarried, no kids, lives in a VHCOL city, plan to return, won't use pre-tax retirement/pension deductions, lives in shared housing.

Ah there are a lot of differences, biggest ones for me were:

1. Lower salary levels
2. Higher taxes
3.Cost of living in London is same as US VHCOL
4. No joint filing of taxes for couples
5. Pension rules are unfavorable
6. Retirement age is higher
7. Easier path to permanent residency
8. No mortgage tax deduction making it much harder to own a home
9. Childcare is just as expensive as US VHCOL

At least for US, the salary you get varies based on minimum wage defined by DOL. So, $5000 has different meaning and cost of living in Dallas vs LA vs Kansas City.

I thought that it would all come with eventual pay increases since it saves the company over 300k in overhead. This whole time I should have been OE. I feel like a fool.
