Regarding aboard relocation for SDE roles

I need some clarity as to where I can plan to relocate aboard if I get the chance in coming 5 years for SDE/SWE roles, I have a lot of colleagues and 1 year seniors moving to different regions and I've done some research on my own but I want some opinions from people in the industry, so please vote here and anything extra please do comment and let me know, thanks.

Canada
Europe (Scandinavian region)

Only in USA Compensation is higher than India.
If you are in tier 1 companies then compensation is more in India than Europe.

I see, but I'm also considering the overall QoL and average career growth too,

Career Growth will more in India due to more Faang like companies, quality of life increases if you are living in gated society and doing remote job. Only WLB and travelling will be better in Europe.

Haha I'm not currently looking for any opportunities abroad, I am interested and will keep looking out but yeah I've just started my career and just can't leave everything my family and everyone here, it will take me atleast 4-5 years to be able to decide for that, but yeah, who knows what's in it for me.

Here's a different pov : Sde 2 in USA = ~ 300k tc After tax and expenses, you can invest 1~1.25 cr per year. So, in 4yrs, your investments can grow to 5~6 cr. Come back to India and retire.
The corpus will be more if your spouse is also earning.

More context is needed. What’s the reason that you are looking to move abroad?

I've mentioned above I've many factors in consideration, but I'm not actively looking for abroad roles, if I get a chance in coming 5 years I want to have some insights as to where I can look into
