Originally Answered: Is it worth living in United States as an Indian Immigrant?

I came to America as a freshman undergrad (1st year) in 2003, and have lived here for more than a decade.

I will say one thing before anything else. Living in an industrialized country with good infrastructure is addictive, especially for Indian and other countries with generally poor infrastructure. If you seek more comfort, and are bothered daily by stresses of transport, electricity and water supply, I would recommend migrating from India, to America or any other developed place.

If you are not bothered by India’s infrastructure deficiencies, situation becomes a bit more complicated.

2003年，我作为一名大一本科生（第一年）来到美国，并在这里生活了十多年。

我想先说一件事。生活在基础设施良好的工业化国家会让人上瘾，尤其是对印度和其他基础设施普遍较差的国家的人来说。如果你想寻求更多的舒适，并且每天都不被交通、电力和供水的压力所困扰，我建议你从印度移民到美国或任何其他发达国家。

如果你不为印度的基础设施不足而烦恼的话，情况就会变得有点复杂。

America has the most advanced economy in the world on many, if not most fronts, and if you are an intelligent, hard working person, it is immensely rewarding (both intellectually and monetarily) to develop products and services for the most advanced consumer market in the world. If not its consumer market, its universities offer an unparalleled network of cutting edge knowledge production, and are a magnet for other high motivated and skilled researchers/students, working with whom is a privilege.

So if you seek intellectual and financial growth, the US specifically is the place to be, much superior than even other developed regions.

美国在许多方面（如果不是在大多数方面）都是世界上最先进的经济体，如果你是一个聪明、勤奋的人，那么为世界上最先进的消费市场开发产品和服务（无论在智力上还是在金钱上）是非常有好处的。如果你不是为了它的消费市场，它的大学也提供了无与伦比的前沿知识生产网络，并且吸引了其他积极性高、技术娴熟的研究人员/学生，与他们合作是一种荣幸。

因此，如果你寻求的是知识和金钱，美国尤其合适，在这方面甚至比其他发达地区优越得多。

If you like to build businesses, and if you like to create wealth rather than be a satisfied employee, I would recommend you try hard in India. It is not impossible for an Indian to be an entrepreneur here, but the possibilities are less due to visa restrictions, and a lack of cultural context. Indian-origin entrepreneurs in the US tend to be concentrated in the tech sector, and and tend to be older than 35–40, since they can usually make this switch only after they obtain a Green Card.

It is usually not possible for an Indian to build a business here in their 20s and early 30s.

So in short, unless you want complete freedom to take entrepreneurial initiatives, America is a great place to live, work and raise a family.

如果你想创业，如果你想创造财富而不是成为一名满足的员工，我建议你在印度努力。印度人在这里成为企业家并非不可能，但由于签证限制和缺乏文化背景，成功的可能性较小。在美国的印度裔企业家往往集中在科技领域，而且往往年龄在35岁至40岁之间，因为他们通常只有在获得绿卡后才能进行这种身份转换。

对于一个20多岁和30出头的印度人来说，在这里创业通常是不可能的。

因此，简而言之，除非你想完全自由地采取创业行动，否则美国是一个生活、工作和养育家庭的好地方。

Addendum:

On further reflection, and after seeing this video by a fellow India to US undergrader, I think there is an important reason to try one’s luck in India in one’s twenties.

Th ability to bounce around and figure out what you want to do in life.

Tenties are the time to explore, not just the world as a tourist, but also oneself by trying out different career paths. One needs to experience and understand the impact of different kinds of careers, the culture and work life of which industry suits them best and offers them the life opportunities they want.

This is practically impossible if one moves to the US on a work visa for two reasons:

Even in the best possible case, it is unlikely you will get a green card before the age of 28–29. By this time, you are almost through the decade of exploration.

Your friend circle in the US is bound to be much narrower in scope (same kind of jobs/industry) and scale (different reference points from the majority of the population) than in India. More often than not, it is your network which will open the doors to different job opportunities.

附录：

经过进一步思考，在观看了一位印度同学给美国大学生的视频后，我认为在20多岁的时候在印度碰碰运气有一个重要的原因，即：

有能力在生活中找到自己想要做的事情。

二十岁是探索世界的时候，不仅仅是作为一个旅游者，也是通过尝试不同的职业道路来探索自己的时候。人们需要体验和理解不同职业、文化和工作生活的影响，哪个行业最适合他们，并为他们提供他们想要的生活机会。

如果一个人想持工作签证移居美国，这实际上是不可能的，原因有二： 即使在最好的情况下，你也不太可能在28-29岁之前获得绿卡。到这个时候，你几乎已经走过了十年的探索期。

你在美国的朋友圈在范围（相同的工作/行业）和规模（与大多数人口的不同参考点）上肯定会比印度窄得多。通常情况下，您的人脉将为不同的工作机会打开大门。 ------------

Originally Answered: Is it worth living in United States as an Indian Immigrant?

I would say it’s not worth living in US for an Indian immigrant anymore than compared to the 1980s-90s. India has a lot more opportunities now after capitalist reforms were created in 1991.

It’s possible to be rich and have a private enterprise in India today. It wasn’t possible earlier. I know a lot of people like me returned to India as you could expand your family business and make more money than in US.

In the US, Indians are minorities and its tough to climb the corporate ladder. Unless you have zero opportunities in India, its not advisable to migrate to US anymore.

我想说，对于一个印度移民来说，与20世纪80-90年代相比，在美国生活是不值得的。1991年实行资本主义改革后，印度现在有了更多的机会。

今天，你在印度有可能变得富有并拥有一家私营企业，而这在以前是不可能的。我认识很多像我这样回到了印度的人，因为在印度你可以扩大你的家族企业，赚的钱比在美国还多。

在美国，印度人是少数族裔，很难在公司往上爬。除非你在印度没有任何机会，否则我不建议你移民到美国。
