https://www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/ india secured 57th position among 65 countries, falling eight places from its rank in 2016. despite giving good ratings for high salaries and low living costs, expats in the country **struggled with pollution**, long working hours, culture shock, personal safety concerns, poor family life and below-par quality of life. i'm an engineer so don't know exactly how much an em makes but my gut feeling says it should be around 65-70k sek a month before tax (we don't mesure salary annually here in europe 😁) you guys really need to state which major city you're based in when putting this shit out there. i make $75k in a tier 3 low col city, and to have the same standard of living, i'd have to make $136k in sf, per the cost of living calculators. your $140k in a nyc/sf/la isn't that much better than his $70k in a low tier2 / tier 3 city. not hating on it, it's good money don't get me wrong, but you're comparing shit on absolute terms instead of relative terms.
