US citizen weighs ₹50 LPA job in India vs $100K in US

A US citizen is choosing between a $115,000 business analyst role in the US and a ₹50 LPA senior support manager job in India.

The India role is fully remote with a permanent night shift (9:30 PM–6:30 AM IST), while the US role offers a daytime schedule.

The Reddit user is concerned that a 2–4 year stint in India could harm future career prospects if returning to the US.

The US role includes $100k/year plus 10% bonus and stock; the India role offers ₹48–50 LPA fixed CTC with management of 20 people.

Commenters noted the India salary offers greater purchasing power but warned against the health impact of night shifts.
