I left India for Ireland — now I make $144,000 a year

Suras Nayak always dreamed of being able to leave his home in India and see the world. In 2025, he got the opportunity to work in Amazon's offices in Dublin, Ireland, and the company covered all visa, work permit and travel expenses. Nayak's biggest challenges were living in a more expensive European city and making friends in a new country. Now a year into his journey, Nayak says he plans on living in Ireland for the foreseeable future.
