Why Indian expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Indian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

What Indian expats have to say about living in Los Angeles

We asked tens of thousands of expats about their lives abroad in our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to our standard questions, we invite them to share what they like or dislike about their experiences in their own words. Here, we’ve selected some of the most interesting or representative quotes about expat life in Los Angeles from .Indians, grouped into positive and negative opinions.

Let’s start with the positive ones.

On the downside, here's are some negative experiences from Indian expats in Los Angeles

Living in Los Angeles, I appreciate the strong earning potential in the US, but it often comes at the expense of family and leisure time. It can take a year or more to adjust to the work culture, and life here can feel lonely if you’re away from family—there are definitely sacrifices to be made.

What frustrates me about Los Angeles is the healthcare system and the extremely high cost of living, especially in desirable states like California, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington.

What makes life in Los Angeles harder for me is Los Angeles is that resident process is really long and delayed as the back log to get immigrant status is 6-7 decades.
