Ask HN: Is moving to Luxembourg from India for salary of €87k a wise decision?

However, this new job could be a springboard for "permanent" migration to the EU or the US - is that a goal for you?

Or, if moving isn't a long-term goal, do you think that the Luxembourg stint would serve you well upon your return to India?

Luxembourg is very expat friendly first destination in EU. You get much more than €87k if you move to Luxembourg and settle there.

Free high quality public primary schools. Before starting primary school at 6, children in Luxembourg attend early education and preschool. Ages 0-4: non-compulsory crèche, mini-crèche or childcare. Age 3: pre-primary education starts, but is not compulsory. Age 4–5: Children begin compulsory preschool at an elementary school.

Healthcare system on Luxembourg is top notch, maybe best in the Europe.

Company pensions to expat employees are very common, are you getting one? You become eligible other pensions only after 10 years of payments.

For a gateway to other jobs/freelance gigs, yes. Being based in the EU puts you at a significant advantage over your India-based peers when it comes to applying for jobs.

Similarly it could be a route to permanent immigration into the EU down the line.
