Hi Peeps - Would like to hear from people who moved back to India after spending 10+ years in the US about their experience. Yes, considering the option due to the current climate and the recent EO

All of a sudden the idea of moving back seems exciting ( prolly because of the constant instability that comes with H1B). I believe if you are financially strong you can afford very similar lifestyle that you have here. Grew up in a middle class family so don’t have much reference.

I believe that a large number of people in the Big 4 etc are in data, analytics, financial risk mgmt, banking regulations, insurance etc. Virtually no such work gets done locally in India. Closest is offshore delivery centres so you basically from being client facing to off shore or having to change your field completely which, depending upon age, may not be practical. I believe this is the challenge but would love to hear perspectives on it.

Yes I am learning the same from my research.

I’m making plans to move back by end of year! Been doing a lot of research as well as mental prep. Literally making lists of things I value in the US that I will definitely not get when I move back, and inversely, what I have missed all these years (11+) that I can’t wait to experience again in India. The former - all obvious things (nature, freedom, open spaces, quality of life) but in latter it’s much deeper emotional well-being aspects of life. Despite being very outgoing and building my own community of friends from scratch, life in the US has been incredibly isolating not to mention very difficult to date as a well educated, very progressive, no BS, emotionally intelligent Indian woman.

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx
