Foreign work experience usually improves your job prospects and salary in India, as many employers value international exposure - especially in fields like IT, engineering, and management. It highlights your advanced skills, adaptability, and understanding of global work culture.

However, some employers may view returnees as overqualified or expect them to seek higher salaries, which can make finding the right role more challenging in some cases. Aligning your skills with current Indian market needs and actively networking can help you get the most benefit from your experience.
