People who have moved away, how do you stay connected with your roots while living abroad?- Grapevine

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I don't think I have a future in India. In about 2 years, proposals for marriage will start coming for me and family members will start harassing me for it. Also, would like to find a partner (which is quite impossible here). I am a product designer and want to move out of this country as soon as the job market is stable.

How can I move to US/Western Europe apart from doing masters as a product designer? Do companies hire product designers from other countries? Or is it more easy as engineer?

Please don't troll here, I am already depressed all the time and can't handle it more

Gay and want to move abroad as a product designer. How can I do it?

Folks who live away from their parents, how do you take care of them?
I recently shifted to Blr, parents live in NCR - In college I was a day scholar and also I don't have any siblings.

Taking care not in terms of monetary help, but rather physical and emotional help - like being present there when they need me.

So bit of context here. I am a 25 year old Male. Moved to bangalore after 2 years of wfh. Stayed there for a year. Got fed up of my job and toxic workplace tendencies so wanted to resign. Dad had been doing a startup for a bit and he felt I was ready to be useful so he asked me to come. I felt it would good for my career so I moved back. 6 months in I feel mentally drained, and all my limited excitement I feel in life are for the small trips I manage to do where I meet some of my college friends/girlfriend. I had read takes online from people that if I had a chance I would leave everything and be at home with parents, but I just dont feel this way. I love my parents a lot but I just dont feel too much anymore. I dont feel like oh I am so lucky I get to spend so much time with my mother. All of my childhood friends from my city have moved to the US. I have 2 friends(not very close but decent) who I meet sometimes, so life is all about waking up, going to office, coming home and calling my long distance girlfriend (who was with me in Bangalore) and falling asleep with 2/3 hours here and there. I rarely have plans. I feel like I am doing something wrong but I cant pinpoint what. How can I passionately want to spend more time with my parents? I just don’t get it from within. Do I really have to work and find new close friends in the city. People at work keep a bit of distance because my dad is the founder. Anyone with any advice?

Struggling to feel excited after moving back home. Can anyone help?

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.

Corporate strategy

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?

It's for the people who stay away from their parents for work.

How do you deal with this guilt of leaving your parents behind when they need you the most? Also, if you have done something regarding this, please mention.
