We have long heard this phrase that ‘the grass is not always greener on the other side.’And a Reddit post shared by an Indian immigrant explains just about that. In the post, he mentioned about life and work in Europe, challenging the widely held perception that moving abroad guarantees comfort and financial ease.In a post on r/delhi titled “Reality of working in Europe as an Indian immigrant, not what people think,” the man reflected on how his expectations shifted after experiencing life there firsthand. “Everyone back home thinks going abroad = easy money, better life. I used to think the same,” he wrote.Having worked as a truck driver and now in a warehouse, he adds, “You can’t even sit for 2 minutes during work hours every day, it feels like you’re just pushing your body to the limit.”Credit: Reddit“You’re on your own,” he wrote. He went on to share, “Everything feels 10x harder.”However, he clarifies that he isn’t discouraging others from moving abroad, but urged them to have realistic expectations. “Please don’t come with the illusion that it’s easy money or a dream life. There’s a heavy price you pay physically and mentally,” he said.
