Mixed Reactions from Online UsersSince posting, he has received a variety of responses, with many users advising him against the move. One commenter remarked, “Horrible work-life balance, peak corruption, adulterated food, polluted air, water. Anything more?” Another user highlighted concerns about job security in India, saying, “If you don’t want job stability and in dire need of toxic culture, for sure move to India. The labor laws in EU make it very hard for companies to conduct layoffs. In India, they are laying off left right and centre. Apart from family reasons, there’s literally no reason for you to move back to India.”
Some users pointed out the challenges of living in India. “Life in India is good until you don’t have to deal with government officials, hospitals, travel via train or road,” one commenter said. “If you have crores and have a strong background then you can live easily even after breaking all the rules.”Concerns about Quality of LifeOthers echoed concerns about the quality of life in India. A user advised him to stay in Europe for several reasons, including health, pollution, and mental stability. They stated, “Hey op stay in Europe Thank me later Reasons: Health, pollution, mental stability, crime rate, politics, corruption, public transport, manners.”
