I will go with what drmana has said and while looking for a job in India following points may be worth considering, which I say based on my interaction with a few collegues who were planning a move back to India or did move back:
- Do not compare the bottomline salary figure that you get here. Many a times people get carried away by that. Work out the expenses, more specifically the housing vis-a-vis the earnings.
- While deciding on the salary of the new job do not ever feel what others would think as to why you took a lower paying (bottomline figure) job per se...its not and moreover its none of anybodys business.
- Even a bit of lesser salary should not bother you, if that would make your wife happy and in turn you, yourself. After all its your family and if they are not happy, none of your efforts are worth it.
- It is a misnomer that with more money you will have a better life...because the question you should ask, when is that you are going to enjoy that money and with whom. From what you have stated I feel it aint helping you in that. It is always very nice to see your bank balance climbing and material possessions coming in... but end of the day if the ones who should enjoy them do not enjoy them including you, its not worth it.
- Last but not the least, take opinions from everyone... but be discerning enough to take only that what would suit you and your family because many would be very appealing but may not suit your circumstances... individuals have different lifestyles, likes & dislikes, circumstances and so the opinions... you need to take what would be best for you and your family to be happy. Talking of your personal aspirations and happiness of the family, trust me you can always work out a way where both can be achieved...just have to think a bit harder and clearer thats all.
