An NRI who works for a FAANG business is worried about losing his work soon, which would likely compel him to relocate to India with his family. “I am still on H1B and I am now working for a FAANG business in the US, but there is a very high chance that my position will be cut in the next few months,” he writes in a Reddit post. Given the current state of the job market, I am really anxious that it will be hard to find another employment in the near future. In addition to being concerned about his career, he is also concerned about returning to India. His two kids are currently in elementary school and high school. He is therefore concerned about how well his kids will be able to cope and adapt to the cultural shift in India if they come back. The family intends to return to Bangalore.
‘Kids are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for’
The internet had some tips for the NRI. A user said, “It will be a big deal only if you make it one. Kids are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for.” Another added,” I moved back. The kids are doing really well. I don’t think that’s a problem. The real issue is in finding work here and adjusting to the work culture. Another issue is adjusting to the quality of life.” “Years ago, I spent 7th and 8th in the US due to my dad getting a temporary transfer to the US. Coming back to ICSE for 9th was tough because the level of course material went up sharply but I studied hard and did well. Can’t say I enjoyed it or coming back, but the experience gave me a lot of confidence that I could get through tough situations,” wrote a netizen.
“How about not babying the kids and getting them to understand how the world works. I have told my kid, adapt or perish. The only fact is that TODAY you are here.. tomorrow you may be somewhere else, which is frankly out of your control.. so learn to deal with it.Kids go where parents go.. period. Stop babying kids.. they are called kids and not babies for a reason,” added another user. ” I may get downvoted for this but I’ll still say it. Another worry for you is that your elder kid is not a US citizen while younger (likely) is. It’s gonna be hell lot of difference for them if they ever want to move to the US. And imagine who’s gonna be blamed for that. It is sure gonna create a rift between not only your kids but older one and you and your spouse,” noted a netizen.
