Bengaluru software engineer chooses family and India over the 'American Dream'
Indian IT engineers have a significant presence abroad, particularly in countries like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and various European nations. These engineers are often sought after for their technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and strong work ethic.
An Indian software professional is frequently presumed to pursue the American Dream.
There's a common notion that IT engineers have relatively easy access to opportunities abroad, and if they opt not to work overseas, it's often perceived as a reflection of their professional competence.
However, not every software developer genuinely wants to work abroad; there are some who would like to work just in India.
Highlighting this aspect of professional life, one social media user has come up with a Twitter thread that is going viral now.
Aanshul Sadaria, a software engineer working at the renowned tech company Google in Bengaluru, has articulated his decision to stay committed to India instead of succumbing to the appeal of the United States.
Through a series of tweets, he has opened up about the motivations and factors that played a role in shaping his choice.
«Bhaiya, why did you not go to the US? Didn't you get an opportunity?», Sadaria mentioned that he frequently came across this question from various people.
He explained: «I could as well. But I didn't! Patriotism? Not exactly.
I lost my father in 2021 and wanted to stay close to my family!»
«Would you ever go to the US in the future with your family?» Additionally, he claimed that he was questioned regarding the prospect of pursuing future endeavors in the United States.
«Perhaps. For a few years, just to get a taste of US working culture and because I am a travel freak.
