Need Advice – US L1A vs PayPal Bangalore

I’m 32, single, and torn between two options:
1. US L1A Visa (via current service firm) – onsite role, but project-dependent and uncertain long term.
2. PayPal Bangalore (Sr. Data Scientist, Fraud & Risk) – product role, better brand and growth, but means relocating away from family.

My worry is feeling lonely in a new place (whether US or Bangalore). Career-wise, PayPal seems stronger, but US is tempting too.

What would you choose in my situation?

For L1 visas they try to low ball you as compared to your US counterparts’ salary.

So better choose option 2.

like

PayPal - Sr. Data Scientist
Fixed - 37 LPA
Variable - 3.7 LPA
RSUs - $40,000 vested over 3 years
Relocation Bonus - 2 Lakhs

That’s a good salary , would depend on how much jump you got on current. Also L1 visas are getting rejected without any clear reason.
So don’t waste a good opportunity by relying on visa process , it’s a waste of time.
And hearing your personal thoughts , seems like you’re a more family oriented person which is good, however you need to discuss with family instead of posting here. Don’t mind just saying.
