Moving Abroad from India · Community Thread

Is moving abroad from India still worth it financially?

For many people yes, but the math has changed. Indian salaries — especially in tech — have risen, while rents and living costs in Toronto, London and Sydney have jumped. The honest comparison is savings after expenses, not gross salary, plus long-term factors: permanent residency prospects, passport strength, schooling and healthcare. Someone earning well in Bengaluru may save more than a struggling newcomer abroad. Run the numbers for your own field and city before deciding — not someone else's Instagram version.
