'Right time to stay in India': H-1B Redditor asks if people working in India are saving more than those in US
India vs US opportunities
Many commenters argued that matching US savings is not possible in India with a 35 LPA job.
“An Indian Redditor who got picked up in the H-1B visa lottery in 2025 asked on the social media platform if staying in India is the right choice at present”
One user wrote that, considering the politics in the US and India's GDP growth, opportunities are getting much better in India.
They added that less discrimination in India lets you do a lot more.
The same user said their pay is 75 LPA, not including ESOPs, with eight years' work experience, based in Blr and holding an MBA from a top-tier Indian institute, which they described as pretty standard pay for their qualifications.
They concluded that staying in India is better.
