Comments on: Brain Drain – Reversed http://amreekandesi.com/2009/03/18/the-reverse-braindrain/ Taking the Tire out of Satire Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:32:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sean Cummings http://amreekandesi.com/2009/03/18/the-reverse-braindrain/comment-page-1/#comment-151743 Sean Cummings Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:57:15 +0000 http://amreekandesi.com/?p=1410#comment-151743 What an interesting phenomenon. Especially considering that the standard of living is lower in India. I wonder if the American government takes notice, and does more to retain their talented immigrants who want to contribute their skills. Both through updating immigration policies, and advancing their own industries. What an interesting phenomenon. Especially considering that the standard of living is lower in India.

Moving back to India for me happened in the mid 90's and the general reaction here was "Why the hell are you moving back"..by then I had already spent 10 years in the US and Singapore. Key is to accept India for what it is.. the roads, the infrastructure..everything...the other thing is to commit to being here and not want to go back at the slightest setback..I have a friend who is going back after 6 years of coming back because he feels that he is not giving his kids the right opportunities for training in things like soccer... Of course at the end of the day, you need to think about making a living..in my case, the only reason I came back was an opportunity (at that time) that involved no difference in my pay packet (that really helps !!) Do I regret moving back.. No.. can things be better here.. definitely.. At the end of the day you have to do whats best for you.

Hence all the operations are to be operated from offshore. That is one of the main reason why people have started returning in hoards. About payments, the onsite teams get much much more than their counterparts at offshore. Its almost triple.

I too would return to India if an opportunity came my way. As for the US, it does need to rethink its immigration policy. Immigrants have done a lot for the country, and now they seem to be going into this protectionist mode. I guess we are going to see some changes happening soon. @Chirag - You cant have it all, because if you did, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the value of what you have! (I think its time for me to start a show on Aastha channel!) @Dev - Yes...life tends to be a tit-for-tat affair. You get something, and you lose something. @Philip – I agree with your thoughts there.

We all need to make some or the other sacrifices. At this juncture I remember Mr. Manmohan Singh's speech in which he said - "You cant get everything in life"...So very true... @Amreekandesi
