Every software engineer dreams of having an onsite experience, most dream of settling down in those dream-lands. There are varied reasons behind such a dream – for some it is money and for most it is peer pressure. I should admit that I wanted to go abroad because of peer pressure.

Having a comfortable living now in India after few years of ‘onsite’ experience, I wonder if I would be as excited as before about an onsite opportunity. Hmm…that is an interesting thought. Thinking about it, I don’t feel any peer pressure and money was never a motivational factor for me. You might ask, ‘Then are you not wanting to go abroad?’. Well, I want to. The smell of new land, taste of foreign food, look of strange faces, sound of unknown voices – these are the things that want me to step out of my tent. Until such an opportunity arises, I’m comfortable and happy here.
