If work balance then consider Germany, may not be best if you are more focused on money

German salaries are a joke when you consider the high cost of living and taxes. People at good companies in India are financially better off than Germans

No country gives value for money as India does. You can get house help, cook, utilities for under 10k. Transportation, medical care and food is cheap too.

Europe Countries, Japan, ANZAC, Canada would be last option.

Paying High Taxes in India and living in shiit cities, having unsafe conditions and slaving away life is not worth it.

Even if you make average salary abroad, you'd be very much happier.. the only issue is your people won't be there. That's why people abroad call Indians Local minded. Remove your need of people, and you will be free and open to new experiences.

Anyone who says Staying in India is better hasn't really thought about alot of things.. and they definitely shouldn't conceive children here, coz they'll be the one's bearing the bad fruits later.

I wouldn't suggest any sane person to bring children in this society, And make them run rats race all over again. That's just one point, there are many more I'm too tired to type over and over again.

Just leave the country for your own sake and future family

  2. How bad are the taxes? Does govt. give back on the taxes charged?
  3. How's the economy performing?
  4. Do employers sponsor visa's? of aged parents as well?
  5. How's the weather? Do u experience any extreme conditions?
  6. Do you experience any kind of racism as an Indian?
  7. Safe for women?
  8. Can you get citizenship easily?

1: Engineering domain and Finance industries are good payers (But financial companies do sometimes have language requirements which is not a problem with engineering domain)

2: Sweden is kinda a socialist society- with heavy focus on equality- hence taxes are heavy for high earners. (Reaches 50% for some pay levels - but most of the employees fall in 30% tax bracket)

But government does a lot for everyone - no expense on health, no expense on any kind of education (elementary or professional), a good pension system and support during unemployment periods. (In short, except buying property no heavy lifting to be done by our wallet)

3: Economy has been pretty stable and solid over the past. But the war has put some strain on inflation. Has reached ~6-7% in recent times - but job market has been strong (apart from the recent hiccups - which was consistent worldwide) and haven’t faced any major problem since my time here.

  1. Yes, employers sponsor visa for the employee, spouse and children. Sweden doesn’t consider aged parents to be dependents - but there are some ways to get them here (but only after getting a EU citizenship)

  2. Weather in Sweden is a bit extreme - April till October is paradise - but the winter gets a bit cold. But if you stay inside - the insulation, heating doesn’t makes you feel cold. I feel the weather wasn’t vey bad to me - but it is the sunlight that created some problems. In India, we are used to of equal days and nights across the year. But here during winters the sun sets around 3pm after rising at 10 am - so a lot of darkness for about 2 months.

  3. I have never experienced any racism what so ever. Swedish people are very warm and welcoming - most of them speak English too - so there wasn’t any language issues as well.

  4. Yes, completely safe! I never felt in a position of threat or danger whatsoever.

  5. Yes, compared to other European countries there isn’t any language requirements too in Sweden - ~6 yr post you are eligible.

Maybe, Those who get high pay in India move abroad as it is not worth paying taxes in India.

What's your motivation to go out? Knowing what you want will help you shortlist places. What's your long term plan? Do you want to just go because it's cool or have thought things through?

I want to go out for new experience and also because pay is better

India. There's no country worth betting on. No doubt about it.
Why would anyone making decent in India even want to work like a slave abroad? No matter how much you try integrating, you are still considered an alien and a potential immigrant.

Europe jao. Pay may be order, but wlb would be good and you'd get some great life experiences in general which your older self would thank you for.

Moving Abroad

Best countries for software engineers

I would like to move abroad to a developed country and settle. My priorities are work life balance, ecosystem for entrepreneurship and income.

Note:- I should be able to get a PR in these countries in less than a decade.
