Ok, let's ignore the selling stuff.

Your partner also quits their good job. That good job might not be available if you come back, congratulations, you're back at years of job hunting and job hopping to be where you were years before. In the new country maybe this was not a concern and the other partner who was just laid off had a great salary to cover.

Your kids leave their good school. Now that school no longer accepts applicants and you're stuck with whatever you can find on a short notice.

This list is far from comprehensive.

Exactly... these are mental costs that many of us who have done the move understand and feel deeply as it has been experienced. For everyone else, we rely on their ability to empathize. Empathy, compassion, and life experiences make it easier to understand people.

So you're going "all in", hoping for a giant reward (aka to make more in a year than the average Indian makes in their lifetime). It doesn't work out. That's part of the risk of going all in.

Or you don't go all in, you don't move your family immediately, and you have a much lower risk for the cost of paying for a flat in Canada and one in India for a few months until everything has settled and you're confident enough.

Exactly, why do we keep absolving people from their personal decisions, expecting society to take the hit from the personal risks they take is beyond me. Like nobody wants to plan for their best-case scenario not materialising and when it doesn't it's the fault of everybody else that they find themselves in that situation.

Weren't those risks understood well before accepting the job?
