I currently make 60LPA in Hyderabad and my firm has an offer for 150k in Chicago. Is it worth? I am generally happy with the package in India and have good savings as I own my house in Hyderabad and I am not a lavish spender. I have been onsite in US previously with an allowance but I did not go crazy over the so called American experience. Single earner with one kid.

I think 60 equivalent should be atleast $250-300k

What do you do to make 60lpa? I want that job

like

I use a factor of 3 for PPP conversion. 60 lakhs is 1.8 crore or $240k base in US

Stay put with 60LPA. Chicago is cold and you will be miserable with limited social circle and then visa / green card drama will slow you down further.

I worked in both Hyderabad and Chicago. I’d stick to Hyderabad especially with your salary package there

Thank you . Since you have experience both side. Do you see more growth in the US. How do you compare kids education. Sometimes I also think that I want to retire early so there is no point chasing the dream since I have only 8 years or less

$150 in Chicago is very low bring single earner and a kid. I would ask for at least $220-$240k or low tier city in Michigan, Minnesota or Ohio. All this only if you really want to move to USA or else staying in your own city with extended family in this COVID ERA is a blissss

Agree with what everyone else has said here. I live in Chicago as well

I live in Chicago. With a wife and a kid, 150 would be OK in Chicago. So you'll be going from an AWESOME pay to OK pay.

Thank you! Yes , I was thinking single earner in India is fine but will struggle in the US

Would you mind sharing yoe, what type of work you do there and which company? On serious note I think its really good package and didn't know people are getting this much salary in India.

Also research and see some Governmental NGOs who are paying in the 40 LPA for policy and strategy work for AVP level. Example Invest India , MakeinIndia etc

I make 140k in SF and have chosen to move to India for 40 LPA.
