Overview
- An anonymous Reddit user said they will move back to India next April after more than eight years in the US that included three years on OPT and five on an H‑1B visa.
- The poster said they have little savings, no debt or dependents, and they do not want to take a standard 9‑to‑5 job in India.
- They asked people who had already returned for advice on adjusting to life in India and on ways to earn outside a traditional job.
- Commenters urged building a large cash buffer, with some recommending 4–5 crore rupees in liquid savings and warning that low cash may force unwanted work.
- Business Today reported the user spent about ₹2 crore on a house in India and now aims to save for a year, while outlets noted the account is unverified and used it to illustrate wider anxiety over US visa uncertainty.
