ML opportunities abroad?

I have awork ex of 5 years and work with one of the best consumer tech startups in India making 32LPA and stocks. Lately, I feel that no matter how much you make here, the quality of life isn't all that great in Bangalore with the roads, pollution and what not.

At this stage, I can't lose 2 years of my time to a masters degree and start afresh in the USA. At the same time, I'm not sure how to find job opportunities in US, EU or even SE Asia.

Can anyone guide me on this?

I'm a Data Scientist working in US. If you had salary of 5 to 10 lakhs or a fresher , abroad would have been a better option but you already earn 32 lakhs + stocks. Leaving all this for visa headaches, stampings, fear of refusal, not being able to visit family, other restrictions and virtually zero chances of getting Green card is not worth pursuing.

What are you prioritising on 💰 or quality of life?
If the answer is 💰 then take remote option overseas and work from tier 3 city. If quality of life then switch to the EU and work there.

Both can only happen in US, i guess. That door seems to be closed. Unfortunately.

Tried looking for remote options where you can work from your hometown?

While I can save a lot more, I'm not too keen on that. I'm too used to the city lifestyle to do that now.
