Remote job right after college

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?

I've always liked the idea of remote I'm just starting out my career so what do u guys reckon is the way to start prepping for a remote job?

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev. Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

People who landed job after having 3-4 years of career gap, please share how you did it? What would be your advice to people with long career gaps? Everyone please share your thoughts or advice on this.

I’m not talking about companies like Meta, Google or companies that have their branch offices in India. Even Turing has registered India entity to pay employee salaries. For example, take Miro. They have offices in Amsterdam but they don’t have a registered entity/office in India. Can companies like those hire Indian workers and make them work remotely from India? If yes, how would they pay salary? They won’t have official payroll here and without a registered entity they can’t pay PF. How does this salary thing works in this case? And do we have to pay taxes for both the countries? Reason for asking: I was watching “Silicon Valley” and there was an episode where Pied Pieper hires 3 engineers from India, Pak and Europe without having any official offices in those country. How would they pay their salaries? Also, read somewhere on Medium that few people are working this way and getting paid $ equivalent of their salaries. If anyone knows anything about this kindly share info on comments.

Yoe: 2.5 Tech stack: React Native, React JS Current: 25 base Will Indian startups be willing to hire for this much base in current market? If yes, will the work life balance be absolute shit? I’m currently working at a startup, want to switch Please help a fellow SWE. Thanks 🙏

Hi all, for a quick background, I graduated from a Tier 1 college this year. My offer got deferred and finally revoked. I have joined a wfh company for 40% of the previous package. Work here is not very hectic and I definitely want to switch from here in a year or so. I think it's a good time for making a good personal project to learn new tech ( non circuital branch with not much dev experience). I was thinking of a full stack microservices based project in node as I have done a mern stack project before. I won't be able to make end to end from scratch. Can someone suggest a resource, for eg any course, from where I can get theoretical as well as implementation knowledge. Or, if any other suggestions that would be appreciated.

Hello folks, So I got an offer from a US based product company for remote role for Product designer. This company just raised a seed funding. They don’t have any office in India but their tech team and some of the people from leadership team (CxOs) are from India. I’m confused whether to go with this offer or not. Reason: 1. Their interview process was too good to be true, it was very quick, no assignments given, they just saw the portfolio, ask some process related questions and then they agreed to give offer. 2. It’s a pure remote company with no plans to build office in India in coming future. 3. They have very small team, I’ll be working as 2nd designer only. 4. As per the current job market, I’m afraid about their future. YOE : 3yrs Hike that I’m getting is 50% Help a fellow UX designer decide whether to go with this or not.
