Why We’re Choosing Roots Over Riches: US vs. India Reality Check

Описание: Intro:
After 8.5 years of building a life in the United States, we’ve reached a crossroads. Is the "American Dream" of high-tech excellence and capital markets enough, or is there a deeper wealth found in the chaos and culture of India? This is our honest reality check on relocation, career, and family.

What we cover in this video:
In this 8-minute deep dive, we explore the stark contrasts between the West and the East. From the unparalleled innovation and work-life balance of the USA to the spiritual depth and collective spirit of India. We talk about the "cutting-edge" opportunities in the US capital markets and the beautiful National Parks, but we also dive into the honking, the cows, the elephants, and the ancient forts that make India feel like home.

Generational Perspective:
We also share the personal side of this journey: what it means for our 10-year-old to assimilate into her heritage and the "To Be Determined" path of our 20-year-old as she chooses between the individualistic grind and the warmth of family.
