Was just asked by my employer to spend a month in India doing process mapping. I do not really want to as they are not giving me an increase in pay for it but are paying for room and food. Considering the horror stories that I have heard for the sanitary conditions there I am very worried but also do not want to get fired. Any advice?

If you were to listen to the global reputation for the United States, you would assume it's perpetually on fire. I've been to India and it's a beautiful country filled with lots of beautiful people. There are problems, but there are problems everywhere. As long as you can get assurances that you will have safe accommodations, I would think of it as an adventure. And then maybe ask for a bit more money, lol. Mostly because it's a big disruption to your life.

100% though

I imagine they’ll put you in a nice hotel, and there are plenty of amazing things to do in India. I’d take them up on the offer, depending on how long you’ll be gone. It really does sound like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ✨

They do have major infrastructure issues. But it is unlikely an expat will come across those unless you decide to go to those areas. All Indian areas that house multinational companies are as good or even better. Just be aware of basic things that comes with any country.

Keep an open mind and stop making opinions about other countries based on reddit.

Im going to India next wee, granted for only a few days. Don’t drink the water. Beyond that I think its fine.

If they pay for a 5 star hotel, what's the problem?

Don’t eat street food. Yes you have to remind people

Embrace the experience

I mean if your only concern is sanitary conditions you’re going to be fine. Isn’t your firm putting you up in a nice hotel? Book some travel on the weekends and explore a new part of the world
