Moved back to India after 7 years in US. My experience so far...
"I moved back to India recently after spending 7 years in US, and I wanted to share my experience so far. I wanted to come back cause of lots of reasons, I couldn't see myself settling there, the visa hamster wheel, my parents getting old. I didn’t come back with rose-tinted glasses. A lot of the concerns people raise here are real: AQI is bad, hygiene, civic sense and littering on the roads, infrastructure is uneven, bureaucracy can be frustrating. Those aren’t imaginary problems, and I’m not trying to downplay them. I was told by my friends and family not to move back, and that I'll regret moving back. as I moved back reality feels less ideological and more practical. Instead of constantly thinking “this country is broken,” I’m just… living, working, meeting people, moving around, dealing with annoyances when they come up, and enjoying certain things like food, hanging out with family and friends, convinience of getting stuff done in the house like cooking and cleaning and no more stupid visa worries. I faced issues in Houston as well homelessness, gun violence, racism, missing family and traffic in Houston is no joke despite the 8 lane highways. Heck I didn't feel safe roaming there at night in certain neighborhoods. So while there as well I had to find a way to work around these issues and go on living my day to day. I’m not claiming this will be everyone’s experience, or that India doesn’t have serious issues. Just sharing that, for me, the gap between online narratives and lived reality has been noticeable — in a way I didn’t fully expect before returning... So far I haven't regretted my decision of moving back and I don't intend to go back to US anytime soon. Edit: As far as work life balance is concerned for my line of work, I haven’t noticed a meaningful difference compared to the US. Long hours and blurred boundaries exist there too, especially in major cities and competitive roles. I used to work long hours there and even some weekends as the rest of my team and I do that in India as well. Same with traffic — congestion and stressful commutes are a reality in large US metropolitons as well. The nature of the chaos differs, but the friction itself isn’t unique to India. I have lived and been to cities like Houston, Denver and Boston and the traffic is horrendous so Bengaluru traffic doesn't feel that unfamiliar or unique to me. Edit 2: For those considering a return, take online rhetoric with a big grain of salt. Lived reality can be very different. I moved to Bangalore fully expecting bad traffic, language issues, and hostility for not being fluent in Kannada — none of that has been my experience. Traffic is manageable from my perspective, and Kannadigas have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. For my line of work, work–life balance feels similar to what I had in the US — long hours and blurred boundaries exist there too. And of course, being close to family and friends is something no comparison really beats. In the end, whether you stay in the US or move back should be a personal choice — not something driven by online narratives or general trends." -
