Pros and Cons of a Global Career: Mental Models, Visas, Aspirations, and Hard Choices with Abhilasha Sinha HBS & IIT Delhi

The U.S. H-1B lottery just ended, and thousands of ambitious professionals are asking themselves the same question: is chasing a global career still worth it? Immigration rules are tightening, borders are harder to cross, and belonging feels more elusive than ever. In this episode, we think through the promise and pitfalls of building a life across countries. We’ll talk about the upside - bigger markets, faster growth, new horizons, and the downside - visa anxiety, dislocation, and the quiet ache of distance. Harvard Business School graduate Abhilasha Sinha shares her reflections and mental models about • Where you build your career, and how much of yourself you lose or find in the process. • Does living “between worlds” expand us, or does it fracture us? • What does success look like when the passport is as important as the résumé? • Is a global career still a realistic ambition?
