I don't care who is earning what and quality of life depends on choices you make not just on money though that's a factor too.

Unde place kuda ikkada ayite enta contribution akkada ayite enta return ani  anta calculative life i dont think i can lead. Life is short enduku anta complicate chesukovadam think simple and do what you love is my thing.

  Anyways agree to disagree .

You have to be receptive of what he is saying Amrita and what he is saying is 100  percent true. You cannot live without money if you want to settle in USA or even in India period. These countries are not socialistic democracies. You are on your own during retirement. And you don't get pension here. That is your safety net. The more your safety net the better. You think 2 million is a huge number now. But think about it this way. After 60 or 65 years up to let's say 80-85 years, solid 20 years you will not have income and this 2 million is the income that you will have. Any major surgeries will be covered by this money. You can have the same standard of living that you have now. Else you will have to work until you are 70-75. See the unfortunate souls outside Sams club who seem to be in their 70s and still working? Some of them might have been people who lived in the present during their prime and struggling in their old age

QA do a lot of work kadha. Bollantha automation work, integration work, coding new tools for testing, creating testing strategies for different organizations within company and so on. Don't undermine their work.

I think they are paid on par since at least in those companies each role is important

Over a period of time there will not be a difference in where you live, but full time jobs in the big three cities are gold. I don’t know if you have 401k but when you retire if you don’t have atleast 2 million you will live in poverty in the US. People buy a home for 700k/800k and pay mortgage until retirement, get the big 401k contributions from the big companies and go to smaller cities or towns. 800k house ammesi Florida lanti places lo illu theesukuntaru for 200-300k. The 401k will give them upper middleclass life style after retirement.

Same work different places give different amount. Indian lo 13 lakshalaku chese pani ikkada 130k ki chesthunnavu. When you retire who will be richer and have a better quality of life? The one who is here or the one who is in India? 300k iche work ni 130k Ki Florida lo chestharu ante thappu ledhu but when you get 300k your 401k will give you 100% return every year. Inka house sell chesthe after you retire you are saving close to 500k. That is a lot of money. You can give good life to your kids too. For example if they want to be a doctor then the costs can be covered a little this way.

WTF i'm getting paid less than some QA's  

pthuu naa bathuku puget sound la munigi sachipotha

There is a secret to getting jobs there bro. Apply to them repeatedly every 6 months or one year or when their application history resets. SFO, NYC and Chicago lo fulltime big pay Job vache varaku try chesthuvundatame goal. Most people will be disappointed after their first rejection from Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon. You just never give up. Keep trying and they will relent.
