An F-1 student is facing a perplexing situation with two job offers: ₹28 LPA in Bengaluru, India, and $60K per year in the US with an H-1B visa.
The student, who moved to the US for his master's degree, has been working for four months and has a valid STEM OPT visa until July 2026.
He is considering returning to India and then coming back to the US later, but is worried about becoming trapped in the H-1B cycle.
Netizens have responded to his Reddit post, advising him to take the ₹28 LPA offer in India and warning him about the job market in the US, where $60K is considered a relatively low salary.
Some users have pointed out that the cost of living in Philadelphia is higher than in Bengaluru, making the ₹28 LPA offer more attractive.
