Back in Nepal after living in the US for 8 years — what are you all doing now? Work, salary, daily life?

Came back to Nepal earlier this year after spending years in the US. Visa expired, chapter closed, came home.

Honestly still adjusting. The hardest part isn’t the culture shock — it’s the income gap. Going from a US salary to what’s available here feels like a completely different world.

Curious to hear from others who’ve come back:

∙	What are you doing for work now?

∙	How are you managing the salary difference?

∙	Did you find something meaningful here or are you just figuring it out day by day?

∙	How does your typical day look now compared to when you were abroad?

Not looking to complain… genuinely curious how people are rebuilding after coming back. Some days feel productive, some days feel lost. Just want to know how others are navigating this. 🙏
