Software Developer

Hey, I have 8 years of work ex and I work in the marketing domain. Last role was mid senior level.
 I have done my MBA from a good B School in India.
I am not interested in settling abroad so have always avoided/ ignored outside opportunities.
But lately I have been thinking of moving out for a few years for exposure . I am 30 years old.
Suggest if that makes sense. And if yes,  EU and south Asia ? USA is a no. Too far and doesnt make sense for marketing.
I am very confused and want to decide soon.  South Asia seems to have a good but very limited pool of companies and EU, am not aware about much. Any leads/ companies to check out would be appreciated too as I have just started job hunt.

Need serious advice on moving abroad for work.

Supply Chain Manager

I’m currently regretting staying back in India, especially with the constant comparisons to my successful cousins who moved abroad. Despite having a good income and a comfortable lifestyle, I can’t shake the feeling that I might have had a better life – pollution-free, maybe tax-free, and less stressful, had I moved.

On the flip side, I worry about whether moving abroad would actually work out for me. Would my children grow up without any culture? Without having a bond with their grandparents? Will I be okay with my parents growing old alone?

I’m in a bit of a pickle and looking for stories from both sides.

Do you regret moving abroad or not moving abroad?

I have 6 years of experience in the Software field earning pretty well. But I'm looking for jobs abroad and thinking of exploring over there. I couldn't get a move without any jobs. So Is there any way to get to Singapore or any Gulf countries.

DevOps Engineer

How's Australia as a destination to move to. I'm interested in UK and Ireland. Maybe Germany but haven't considered Australia yet.

I am working as software engineer at FAANG. I pay ~1.25L income tax per month. It pains me a lot. Since being general class male, I never got any benefit from but these govt is looting me. There are many small shopkeeper, landlords, farmers who earn more than me but none of them is paying tax but here I am paying such huge tax like loser. What should I do? Should I move abroad where even though I will still pay 30% tax but still I will have more money than being in India, or should I open a shop like of clothes, or chai?

Should I move abroad?

Software Engineer

There's obviously the advantages of making more money and having a better lifestyle.

But given the sacrifice on your circle of friends and family in India, is over indexing on just professional outcomes a sensible enough thing to do?

How do you guys think around it?

Hello!
Has anyone moved to Singapore for work? In Software’s? Hows the Market and how did you move?

Planning to move down the line this year. Inputs would be great?

Plan to move to Singapore

Question came up because it’s Independence Day 🇮🇳
A lot of us have had the privilege to be able to go abroad, but ended up choosing not to.

For me, it was just believing there’s enough growth here in the coming few decades + friends/family

Looking to hear if the reduced brain drain is actually true, and what makes people stay.

To people who choose to stay in India, what made you stay? 🪷

For me it was the army and followed by my corporate job. I never felt like leaving the country. It’s always better to live like a first class citizen in a 3rd world country than a third class citizen in a first world country. 
  
 In addition to this, family is what defines us as Indians and that kept me hinged back home

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I am 31 M and am married with no kids as of yet. 

I have been to the US for my master's and also did a job there for some time. I came back to India in 2020 due to visa issues. 

Ever since then I have been thinking of going out of India, maybe to Canada (or nowadays Nordic countries are also accepting immigrants). But I am confused and unsure of what to do. 

I feel stuck here at my current job and feel like I haven't grown much. There are a lot of opportunities in other countries and the biggest motivation is lifestyle upgradation.

On the other hand, going to other countries would also mean a lot of struggle at this stage of my life, which I did the first time around when I went to the US. Plus there is this war situation happening in multiple countries. No one knows what will happen of that.

One more factor is - India is also doing fairly well and is seen as having the maximum growth potential in the next 5-10 years

What do you suggest? What are the points that I should consider? 

Also if I were to try to move out, which countries would you recommend I look at? What are the benefits? 

Help please!!!

Should I move out of India?

Product Manager

Hello Team,

Need a suggestion, I am currently working as a cloud support engineer with AWS.

1. I am planning to move to Australia, especially for a better lifestyle and a better future for kids. 

2. I am not considering moving to Australia with AWS(If AWS send, that would be perfect) but at present it would be on my own.

Question that I have:-

1. Is anyone already working in Australia that could suggest if this would be a wise decision? I am expecting a salary range between 120K-150K. 

2. Or any other insight on this?

How did you decide which country to move to?
