Leaving India for greener pastures

Currently working as a senior software engineer @msft, living in Tier 1 city, working remotely and earning enough to lead a decent life in India.

I’m 28 and have lived and worked all my life in India.

I used to believe that India is on path to become a developed nation. But after travelling to Europe, Dubai, Japan and countries in SEA, i’m come to realise that my country has a really long way to go, to provide us with a good quality of life.

Clean air to breath, walkable streets, robust public transport, cleanliness, good roads, safety, etc. - I don’t think Indian cities will achieve this, atleast in my lifetime.

Indian politicians and lawmakers are one of the most incompetent bunch, taking the country backward. Have zero expectations of any change.

On top of that, paying 35% in direct tax year after year for nothing in return doesn’t make sense anymore.

I am looking for suggestions on cities that I can consider to move to. Looking for good career growth, vibrant tech scene and decent compensation.

Suggestions welcome!🙏🏻
