As an SWE bringing dollars into India and helping keep India sovereign, the last thing you want is banks, agents, MFs, RMs, or the financial ecosystem touching your money. Convert it into S&P 500 or Gold immediately. Spend later. Gold derivatives don’t count.
The Indian SWE became the country’s hidden forex engine.
For 20+ years, they worked U.S. shifts, built global software, supported foreign clients overnight, and brought billions of dollars into India. Those dollars funded imports, reserves, asset bubbles, and economic stability.
But what did the SWE get in return?
* 20-year EMIs for matchbox apartments * Endless layoffs and PIP culture * Inflation eating purchasing power * Taxes funding systems they barely benefit from * Financial products designed to trap savings in depreciating INR assets
Meanwhile, the people closest to power diversified long ago: foreign assets, overseas education, dollar exposure, gold accumulation.
Never forget the bankers or agents or financial inclusion propoganda doers hoard millions in dollars which they stole from you.
