I wonder if your quality of life is any worse than a programmer in north america.
And/or if you're any un/happier than a programmer in north america?
even taking into account self-delusions about whatever people like to be self-delusional about.
south asian dev wants more pay but doesn't realize that living with family can be a boon to personal happiness.
north american dev lives relatively comfortably but is work-stressed and miserable because of the ever-present existential crisis of lack of meaning in their lives, and they're estranged from most of their family.
canadia dev is least unhappy because they have health care at least.
