Sure I might not be earning as much as the top earners in a desi law firm, but I get home at a good hour and get to spend time with wife and kids. I avoided mid career burn out by moving here.
Also quality of life is great. There is less to no crime, there is no shortage of things to do.
Done a masters subsequently.
Without good contacts, I don't think it is possible to get there straight out of college, but there are plenty of folks here who moved laterally directly from India.
