What was your thinking to go back to India? Did you achieve your goals. Are you second guessing your decision?

always wanted to go back to be close to my family. never paid attention to financial settlement, rather waited for the right job in India. As soon as I got that, I moved to India. as usual India stuff kontha ibbandi pettina, I am fine. 

the reason for my post is: with the current inflation, I am thinking that I just came back to India in a perfect time. just to see if other DBians are in line with my thinking.

I think biggest adjustment is for kids. The younger they are, the easy the transition is.

agree on inflation in US. India is much better, though real rate prices have shot up like anything in hyd in recent times.

My dad didn't move to USA as he was in two minds at age of 39. I was in 7 the grade..this was back in 1999 .. my relatives who moved in 1999 ..and their kids in 6th 7th class.. did fairly well.. in other words..they got good combination of both the worlds.. they got good higher education and were able to find successful career 

Your kids will survive and will do well in opt + h1b even though they don't get green cards by that time.

Now it is more important for kids to study in USA (bachelor's)

Db athi itlane untundi, working for few years and grinding hard can make wonders for your career in the us, 200k+ salary should be achievable after a few years if you put effort

 also age gauge ani koorchunte nothing will happen, 40 is still too young and people should come out from retirement mindset

us lo work hard , have fun and move to India if you don’t like, this is still possible

40 lo vachi 10 years undi po, nice life style enjoy chestaru for few years

People make big life changes at all stages. Just think about what you want from the move and how it aligns with your life goals. Consider factors like job opportunities, community, and lifestyle.

Absolutely, age shouldn't limit your adventures! I made a big move to the USA in my 40s, and it's been an incredible journey. Sure, there were adjustments, but it's never too late to chase your dreams. When I was planning my move, I found companies like Relocation to be invaluable. Their expertise in international moves eased any worries I had. So if the States are calling your name, go for it! It's never too late to start a new chapter.
