A Peer-Led Collective

Don’t return on
patriotism.
Return on evidence.

Exposing the reality of down-leveling, CTC dilution, and lifestyle friction for tech professionals. We facilitate the data that recruiters won't.

Discretion assured. Peer verification required for forum access later.

The "Down-Level" Audit

Evidence-based tracking of which Indian GCCs and startups respect international seniority and which use "local market" excuses to demote.

02.

The Regret Archives

Normalizing "it didn't work for us." We prioritize failure stories to help the next family avoid career-ending mistakes.

03.

Life Logistics

Bridging the gap between CTC data and the reality of Tier-1 schooling costs, spouse career disruption, and mental adjustment.

A Decision Checkpoint, Not a Venting Space.
