I know that not everyone can walk away from their jobs. I admit that I may be one of the lucky few who can. Working in tech provided me with one huge lasting benefit — a kind of financial freedom I had never known before. My years in tech helped me build a modest nest egg that now gives me the dignity and confidence to dream of a better life without seeing myself as a burden to my partner. I will always be grateful for that.
It’s a coin with two sides. In Europe & the UK (even Canada?), that kind of financial payout is just not possible. But you also are much less likely to have existential situations flung at you.

IT market salaries are increasing in India but still it would be leas than what they were earning in US.
U.S. tech layoffs sent Indian workers home to an even worse job market
