I have the opportunity to live in Chennai India for a while and was thinking of trying to get a design job there. Does anyone have any experience there? Last year I worked in Kampala Uganda and it was amazing so i think India could be interesting also. It might be time to leave the US for a while.

Never been to Chennai, but India is one of those places you will ending up loving because its more than a country you simply visit. It will slap you back to reality and out of the modern bubble. The pay might be low, but its a cheap country to get around in.
ps: Chennai in the summer gets hot as f****. Were talking heat waves from the road hot.

The problem is that if you work in india, and even if it's all great - the moment you decide to your home country your entire year of pay will be worth approximately 3 cheeseburgers and that will suck. Essentially making yourself poor...
