Not necessarily. It's beastly expensive, having a car and trying to drive into the city will cost big in surcharges (public transportation is encouraged) and obviously US salaries will see a 25-35% haircut.

Singapore is half the size of Delhi. It doesn’t give you permanent residency either. Having lived both in Singapore and Toronto, my vote goes to Toronto.

I would say so, based purely on the economy

Agreed - the two best factors in Sing's favor is not cold like Canada and much closer to India so you're not flying for like 15+ hours

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
