An NRI's recent post on Reddit has sparked a heated debate about returning to India after living in the US for over a decade.
The person, who spent eight years in the US under an H-1B visa and OPT, expressed frustration with visa-related stress and financial difficulties, ultimately deciding to return to India in April.
The Redditor sought guidance from others who have undergone similar transitions, but the authenticity of the claims made in the post cannot be independently verified.
The user recounted his experiences navigating the US immigration system, stating that he has limited savings and no debts or obligations, but is reluctant to revert to a conventional 9-5 job in India.
Many users in the Reddit community responded with suggestions, including financial planning and the stark truths of living in India without sufficient savings.
Some users expressed shock over the user's claims of having no savings despite living abroad, while others recommended controlling expenses and returning to India with sufficient money to survive without a job or to start a business.
Others stated that the user should come back to India with a liquid net worth of 4-5 crores, warning that India without money is extremely tough.
