BANGALORE, India - After graduating from Northwestern University last year, Nate Linkon contemplated job offers in Chicago and New York. But he chose a less conventional path and started his career here, in India’s booming tech capital.

The 22-year-old Milwaukee native works in marketing at Infosys Technologies Ltd., India’s second-largest software exporter. He’s part of a small but growing number of young Americans moving to Bangalore and other Indian cities to beef up their resumes, launch businesses or study globalization in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

Despite the traffic-choked streets, unsteady electrical supply, occasional digestive troubles and other daily frustrations of life in India, Linkon has no regrets.

1. So we have to leave the United States to get good jobs?

Perhaps Immigration to the US will be overtaken by Emigration out of the US. Seems that is the only solution for an energetic capable new comer to the business community. Can you say brain drain?

4. Bites? Naw...

Living in India is pretty cool, and it wouldn't hurt business-minded American nationals to get a different perspective on world affairs. I just hope that after he makes his millions and decides to move back he remembers to divide by 40. 8 crore rupees doesn't buy as many yachts as it used to.
