Indian man in US compares 'struggles' in India and America: 'Here: A practical reader guide

An Indian man living in the United States has shared his journey from repeatedly appearing for competitive examinations in India to choosing an unconventional career path that eventually took him abroad. In a video posted on Instagram, he reflected on the pressure, financial struggles and uncertainty he faced before deciding to pursue hotel management.

But here I am sharing my journey. A few years ago, seeing my friends, I also entered this race. I took exams, failed many times and there was a lot of frustration. There was a lot of pressure from family. I wanted to do something for my parents, build a house; our financial condition wasn’t good, and I used to overthink a lot. But then I chose something different from my relatives and friends. I did hotel management and worked for three years as a pastry chef at Marriott Hotel. Then I got an opportunity to move to America. Whether it is India or America, the struggle exists everywhere.

But if you struggle in America, you get a 1,000% reward for it.”

Sharing his experience, Chauhan said, “If you are preparing for JEE, NEET, UPSC, or any government job in India, I respect all of them.
