flag Indian tech worker Ujjwal Chadha quit his high-paying U.S. job to work remotely from India, boosting his savings and quality of life.

flag Indian software developer Ujjwal Chadha left his $250,000 Microsoft job in the U.S. to work remotely from India, citing a dramatically improved quality of life. flag Despite the high salary, he found living expenses, commutes, and isolation in Seattle stressful. flag Returning home allowed him to live in his family’s home, cut rent by 80%, and achieve a 90% savings rate. flag He regained time with family, access to household help, and eliminated visa-related anxiety. flag His experience reflects a growing trend among young Indian tech workers choosing to return home or avoid moving abroad, driven by remote work opportunities, rising Western living costs, and a shift toward work-life balance and financial stability over high salaries abroad. flag LinkedIn data shows a 40% increase in professionals updating their location to India in late 2025, signaling a notable reverse migration trend.
