$60K per year is clearly more than the 28 LPA, but salary conversions can be confusing and the dollar option may not be attractive at all when US expenses are taken into account. An F-1 student explained the confused situation he is in as he has two job options: a 28LPA job in Bengaluru, India, and a $60K per year job in the US, which he has been pursuing for the past four months. The Redditor explained that he came to the US to pursue his master’s degree and after struggling for a year, he got a job just four months ago. But this year he was selected for H-1B and it is under process. So on one hand, he is so lucky that he got the H-1B but his salary in America is not very high.The Redditor said that he always wanted to go back to India and later come back to the US. He explained his current status as a STEM OPT and said he fears getting stuck in the H-1B loop.The post went viral because it reflected two important things: the fear of H-1B among Indians after several rule changes by the Donald Trump administration, as well as the job market in the US, as $60K per year in the US is quite low, social media users opined – although many claimed it was justified since the location was not Silicon Valley or New York – but rather Philadelphia.Most of the responses were in favor of 28 LPA in Bengaluru as the cost of living is still high in Philly. One said, “60K is the poverty level for Philly. You need at least 110 to 150K. I would choose Bengaluru and maybe come to the US after some time since you have an H1B.”Another advised, “Go to India. There is 60k poverty in America. 28lpa is liberal in India.” A third user wrote, “28LPA in India is a no brainer. Unless you have a good trajectory/confidence, you can get it in the next year or 100k+ in the US.”But some Redditors asked the student to give some more time in US as 28LPA job offer from India will come again.
