Indian man chooses $160K US job over Rs 2 crore India offer
A man rejected a Rs 2 crore job offer in India and chose a $160K offer in the US for better work-life balance.
The man said he valued predictable personal time over higher pay and is okay with US visa uncertainty.
The story was shared on LinkedIn by Dubai-based AI leader CJ Teja Sai.
The man cited a friend's uncle's colleague who resigned as an engineering manager in India after a 3 AM sync meeting extended from 15 minutes to 3 hours.
The post sparked debate, with some arguing work-life balance in the US is similar to India due to long hours and added chores.
