what to do with vested RSUs - moving back to India

  1. sell them now i.e. while still in the USA (oct 2026)
  2. sell them after arriving in India (Q4 2026)
  3. sell them in India but in 2027

ps: keeping them as a long term investment is already out so pls dont comment that or ANYTHING outside these 3 options. thanks fam!

East village studio apt up for grabs

[EDIT: A lot of people have reached out already, INTAKES PAUSED TILL FURTHER NOTICE]

The wrath of AI finally got me. Read my layoff email a few weeks ago, 7am in New York.

Idk how long till I see a paystub again.

My bad luck = your good luck.

East Village studio, $2600/mo, no broker fee. Clean lease transfer, goes fully into your name.

267 East 10th Street Apt 9

why I never wanted to leave (3rd year here):

  • dishwasher, oven, fridge all in unit
  • safe and secured bicycle parking
  • full NY energy outside, dead quiet to sleep inside
  • party scene: not even gonna explain, would be disrespectful to this neighborhood fr
  • transport: walk any direction, you're covered. L train, Union Sq, (456/RW), M8, M15, M101-2-3, citibike right there
  • 60 sec to Tompkins Sq Park, basically your own backyard, Gramercy energy for free
  • no laundry in unit but laundromat directly across the street + more nearby
  • heat + hot water included, just cover ConEd

Rent: $2600
No broker fee
Lease thru Feb 2027, renew after that if you want, zero pressure

DM if interested to move in from 1st Oct onwards.

Summary section - is it needed?

Been making my resume - last time I job hunted, it was 2018. And 2026 is nothing like it.

One question I have - is summary section needed? Been getting mixed feedback from my friends. Someone says, it's a waste of space. Other says 7+ work ex people should have summary

WDYT?

People who returned to India from USA: What do you wish you had taken care of before leaving?

Context: I’m currently planning my move back to India after living and working in the US for a few years.

I know there could be many things that are easy to overlook/miss until you’ve already landed.

For those of you who have made the move back (R2I):

  • What are the key things to keep in mind before officially leaving?
  • What administrative, documentation, or personal tasks do you wish you had sorted out before boarding the flight?
  • Is there anything you forgot to bring, cancel, or update that ended up being a hassle from India?

Looking for advice on everything- from updating IDs, phone numbers, and documents to shipping, health records, or even mindset shifts.

Appreciate any tips, checklists, or personal lessons learned!
