A viral Twitter thread by software engineer Aanshul Sadaria explains why he turned down opportunities to move to the US. He reveals many assume Indian techies aspire to go abroad, and not doing so can seem lacking competence. However, Sadaria articulates motivations behind committing to an India-based career over the "American Dream". He lost his father in 2021 and wanted to stay close to family, prioritising relationships over leaving home. When asked if he'd ever move to the US in future, Sadaria says maybe to experience the work culture as he loves travel, but would ultimately settle back in India. His perspective challenges assumptions and highlights family priorities.
