Hi genuine question - don't we have to apply for the entire duration leave from office as part of Schengen visa? Or we can skip that part

No just a NOC from HR saying they have approved leaves is enough

Remote work from EU

Remote work from EU- Grapevine

I'm a self employed software engineer working as a remote contractor for a Berlin based German company. My employer is organizing a company-wide meet for 4 days in April. I also need to visit there. I've got a few queries.

1. Which VISA should I apply for, Business, Tourist or any other?
2. I also intend to stay there for 4 more days apart from 4 days of my official visit (total 8 days) to explore the country. If it's going to be a business VISA, can I also travel using my business visa as a tourist to other places in Germany?
3. If I want to stay there a bit longer as a tourist to explore the city and the country, will I need the invite with the extended dates or can I have the invite with the official dates, book departure flight of 4 days later and can stay 4 more days as a tourist to learn more about the city?
4. If I am provided with the lodgings accommodations for the 4 days from company's end, will I need to pre-book my lodgings accommodations for the rest of the 4 days before applying for the VISA?

Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience.

International digital nomads

Hello boys and girls,
Planning to travel around Europe and work from there in July. Checking here to see if I can get a company. My planing is almost done. My friends were supposed to come with me but schengen gods had other plans. Hit me up if you’re doing something similar next month :) TIA

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Folks I’m thinking of moving to Europe from India. I’m a software developer with 1.5 YOE. I want to move to Europe to explore different places in Europe and experience life outside India. My main goal is not to save a lot of money (I’ll be okay with saving as much as I save in India). I want to work outside India for a couple of years and then return back to India. 

What are your suggestions on moving to Europe? Which country is best for software developers in Europe at the moment?

What are the companies in Europe that are sponsoring visa? How should I prepare for interviews in Europe.

Your suggestions and guidance are much appreciated. 

YOE - 1.5
TC - 14.5(Base)

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

The title sums it up. Are there any PMs here who do remote work for an European company and get paid in € ? How did you land the job? Any specific place to look out for such openings? Can you share some slack group,etc?

How to find/apply for remote/on-site PM gigs in Europe?

Product Manager

Me and my friend both WFH are planning to go for workation for around 25 days in Goa.

This will be my first workation and i want to travel with minimal spending so that i never have to think about money or budget the next time when i'm planning workation anywhere in india, i have seen many people on youtube travelling with almost NO money, wanna try the same.

What are some good places to stay like some good and cheap hostels if you can recommend in goa.

What are some good and cheaper places for brunch and dinner in goa? Some mess or cafeteria etc? Maybe some tiffin services?

Any other tips you can provide to travel with minimal expenses/spending without compromising much will be really helpful

Need suggestions and tips for 30 day workation in Goa

Hey guys, 
   Wanted to know your opinions and if someone has walked similar path before. 
   I am in infrastructure engineering domain, want to transition into core backend with full stack. 
   I have roamed around abroad and found really great quality of life -
   1. Food quality is damn good!
   2. Spending power when you travel with that currency to other parts of the world
   3. Disciplined
   4. Power of people, where the rules are same for all. You are just as powerful or weak as a politician in regards to upholding the law. 

I like these concepts and want to explore living abroad, learning cultures, traditions and people. 

I was thinking of getting into a Europe based company(understand the pay would be less but I get to roam EU countries with better work life balance) for my backend role and leave my current job to prepare for it as my entire day is sucked off by this current high paying job and it's not fun anymore

Thoughts?

Tldr -
Not happy with my current life sucking role at startup. Have experienced better life abroad as a tourist. Want to switch to a job abroad and experience customs, traditions, people, culture, languages!

My work doesn't excite me. Thinking of quitting to focus on backend and take up job in Europe

Personal learning. Places that seem great as a tourist may not be epic to actually live in

Consultant

Due to financial difficulties, I couldn’t afford college in past so had to dropout. But after working in different startups for 4 years I am financially independent now.

Currently, I am working as a product manager in one of the startup in India. But, all of the startups I worked for were > A series in terms of funding.

Can I get a working visa in European countries or Australia?

What should my next move in upcoming years? Working in some foreign based countries as a remote employee? Or should I get a working visa first in some country and then apply for remote jobs?

The reason to move out from India is less pay and work life balance. I am planning to move back to India after few years of working in abroad as It would help me to save some money to venture my own startup.

Which countries provide working visas for dropouts?

Really really really want to travel to Europe this year for a 3 week solo trip but unfortunately the visa process seems to be a buzzkill 

I’ve heard people wait for 6 months and still not get their visa, despite following all proper procedures 

If anyone’s recently travelled, I wanna know: 

- Which country has the shortest visa processing time? 
- Is there anything you do differently that can fast track your acceptance? 

Oh and in case you’re crazy and spontaneous enough to wanna join me, let’s get chatting :)

Questions about Schengen Visa

Content Strategist

Hello community,

I'm currently exploring new opportunities in front-end development and was wondering if anyone knows of companies that sponsor work visas. I bring over six years of experience in the front-end domain and am eager to find a team where I can contribute my skills.

If you have any information or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Feel free to drop a comment or message me directly.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The job market is fucked all around now, but assuming there will be interest rate cuts in 3-4 years (optimistic), how willing would companies in these countries be to sponsor someone from India? During the boom in 2021 a lot of people from my shitty tier 3 college managed to get sponsored at Big Tech in De, Ireland and Lu. 
What can I start doing now to increase my chances of finding a company that can sponsor me after I gain experience? 
Is it a pipe dream considering Indians are now flooding even these countries to get meaningless master degrees to immigrate (which I am somewhat open to too)? My ultimate goal is getting citizenship in one of these countries, preferably EU. 
I’m not really interested in central and Eastern European countries because I don’t align with their beliefs and their languages are too hard.

Anyone working in Western Europe here (DACH, Netherlands, British Isles)?

Information Security

Dear remote workers on Grapevine, have any of you been on a 2-3 month long workation spanning multiple cities? I am planning to go on one and cover south of India - Coorg, Chikmaglur, Gokarna, Hampi, Kochi, Alleppey, Munnar, Wayanad, Pondicherry. 

Am I being to ambitious? I think I can manage 1-2 weeks or more at most of these places. Will stay in hostels - easier to make friends there + it’s cheap.

Any tips?
