Hey TE friends!

I've been seeing many members list the reason 'moving abroad' as the reason in the marketplace sales threads. I'm curious, where are you moving? What's the opportunity - education / job? Most importantly, why are you moving? What made you take such a big decision - leaving India to go to a different country?

As a 20-something year old, I'm looking to find out what's the reason for this recent surge in going abroad and to learn from what you all have to say. Please share your stories and let's have a conversation!
 
There are a lot of reasons: money, quality of life, better opportunities, whether in education or employment. Life also tends to be more convenient abroad: people have greater civic sense, you don’t have to haggle with sarkari babus to get things done, you get your tax money’s worth, there’s much more freedom, and no one snoops into your life or makes backhanded comments
 
my question is why you shouldn't? when you can't have proper education, good roads, good security, honest judiciary, good infrastructure? leaders are enjoying with our money, taxing and abusing us. 4 pillars are protecting themself.

why you should not?

Post in thread 'What's your perspective on the India's future?'

There is no future in India. Why?

1. Reservation - The system mocks merits, hate people with intelligence and prioritize people with no skill. It is just funny/tragic to see student with 90% fails but 20% pass and get a job.
2. Corruption - from Top level to bottom in every sector, corruption is running like parasites.
3. Education - Education in India is null.
4. Healthcare - Poor healthcare, nothing for taxpayers.
5. High Triple taxation - upto 60% taxes goes to government directly and indirectly which they use to give freebies, make their own villas and do everything to be remain in...

There's nothing recent about it — people have been scrambling to leave this country for decades. Freshers after engineering who went to the US to work as petrol bunk attendants now own their own engineering firms (two of my relatives). Some went to pursue MSc and settled in careers that had nothing to with their MSc (another relative).

Simply put, if you're the kind of person who isn't very much attached to our "I should go hang out and talk with my friend/friends over some chai and biscuit/jalebi/samosa" culture — that is, person who thrives on social interaction — then a life in the west is an upgrade by every metric you'd define happiness and comfort.

I had that life for a while, I never felt deprived of anything. But I'm happy to be back and would not even dream of ever leaving India again. There's just too much of my heart here and after a while, your bank balance is just a number, no matter how big or small. Give this a listen:


With this current generation of graduates, your generation, there are more people returning to India than ever before. Maybe because of the global economy where we indulge in the same consumerism here as westerners do over there, but with a support network of childhood friends and relatives that the people before you didn't give much importance to.
