'Closer to ageing parents, growing kids': Meta engineer's post on moving back to Bengaluru after 18 years in US goes viral

Meta engineering leader Balaji Gururajan moved his family to Bengaluru after 18 years in the US.

Gururajan cited wanting to be closer to aging parents and growing kids as reasons for the move.

He described leaving the San Francisco Bay Area as emotionally difficult, having built his career and personal life there.

Settling back into Bengaluru involved finding a home and schools, which he called humbling but genuinely good.

Many others shared similar experiences of returning to India for family reasons.
