Finally left my well paying job
Left my design job which was paying 2L+ per month for working 4-5hrs a day. Feels slightly heavy, going to take a break and refresh before I start my next journey. Oh wow, this is also my first post on this platform after being active for more than 5 months.

Can you share with us, How did you manage to get in touch with a company? Where can one search or apply for companies in the USA? And what criteria do these companies typically look for in applicants?

Founder was got in touch with me after seeing work that I posted online. Something I’ve noticed that these founder look for is leadership/ accountability, ofc apart from how good you are with your craft.

Agreed, offers I had from Indian firms was not that great. This offer is seeming good because of currency conversion
