I'm a software professional making 50LPA in India.
Getting offers from Germany, Spain for 100000 euros per year.
What should I choose? Relocating to Europe or stay back in India? How are savings in European countries compared to India?
I know quality of life will be better in Europe. But is it true that you feel alone there (being away from family)?
Anybody with similar experience?
I guess more information would help. Could you answer these questions-
1 and 2. I'm 28, married and no kid yet staying in Hyderabad as of now, so will be relocating with my wife. 3.. Not very sure about the pay range in Europe but what I've seen is, this is what European nations pay. Let me know if you have better idea. 4. It's opposite, I need more money now.
I'd suggest finding a Job in US or remote job from India itself. People go to Europe to have a balanced lifestyle, no one goes there to earn money bcoz European counterparts of MNCs don't pay that much
I came back from Germany after working there for 2 years for a unicorn.
100000 is above average pay but you won’t be able to save much. Especially if you want to travel. If you don’t want to travel, there really is no point in going to Europe.
And to be honest, the tech there is mediocre at best. So no great learning experience as well.
Exactly, I'm interested in travelling. That's one of the reasons I am little inclined towards moving.
Can you share in a little more detail on the rent, daily expenses etc. And the savings when someone makes 100k in Germany?
Yeah you can travel easily. But after a point it all starts to look the same. A main station, a cathedral, old town, bars etc etc
That depends on your lifestyle. I hope you know 100k gross is around 60k net in Germany. Rent depends on city, ~1k-2k. Living expenses for 2 would be around ~1k-1.5k(depends on your lifestyle).
Just remember 1 thing. If you don't do it now, it will get even more difficult later. So go, if you feel lonely fckin come back. No one stops. Not like you are taking a loan. And that package is good, certainly somewhat better than you earning 50lpa in say Bangalore
That's something I was hoping to get. Thanks man for sharing your thoughts.
Although as per price parity calculator 100k is less as compared to 50lpa - I've gone through expenses in European countries which seems to be very much more that India as well as the taxes - seems like it'll be less but not too less.
Will update my next move soon
Could recession be a problem? India is safer in that term - just a thought that came to mind.
Folks I’m thinking of moving to Europe from India. I’m a software developer with 1.5 YOE. I want to move to Europe to explore different places in Europe and experience life outside India. My main goal is not to save a lot of money (I’ll ...

Confused because of many issues like anti-immigration rhetoric by Europeans, low pay, high taxes, inflation etc. still it seems better than India at least in terms of pay and work-life balance. Need guidance on this. Also, is German or a...
I am basically confused, I really want to experience other culture in general; but for me in India I cannot experience or explore anything other than work like 24/7 availability, late night work and the current work requires me to work i...
They are hiring me for Senior Node Js Developer and want me to relocate as well from India to Berlin. How much should I say so that it should be comfortable enough for me to relocate and leave a job of around Rs. 50+ lakh in India.
