I moved to UK 9 months back as I was very much excited to work in abroad.I was going over life in abroad.I was like life will be set there will be good and quality work , work life balance this n that. But tbh we do get good environment like less population and pollution but you tend to miss India every other day. I feel people who got such opportunity when they are young. they can relish it. I have my friends in canada and uk and all have similar feeling and everyone is like i will go back.tbc

I have had this first hand exp that glass is not always greener on the other side. Though we have traffic congestion and pollution in India , but I felt more chirpy and lively there. Here we miss friends and family. And most importantly people come here for money which is definitly not the case now as in India ctc has tremondously increased and we can afford a better life over there.

CTC in India increased, people easily negotiate for 30lpa to 45lpa. Benefits on tax paid is not ever matched to the UK or america. However inflation is slightly less compared to Europe, in Bangalore gated communities 2bhk rent around 50k.

In Europe you can't expect to save like higher scale people in India, it depends on your footsteps what you need or what to sacrifice.
