relative to inflation, hasn't increased much. also, fine if you are single but once you have a family with kids, you feel the pinch even if you are with one of the big ones. The biggest issue for me is the time. Do politics, become PM and then chill all you want. As a techie, you will not have much time for family. Also, as a techie you still hit the ceiling very soon. If you are happy with the job abroad, stay there. Its not as rosy in India as the media somehow shows you.
