Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I’m a software engineer with 2 years of experience, in my first job, leading the tech team of 10 at an early startup startup. I graduated with a bachelors from an IIT in 2021.

I’m planning to move abroad (probably EU) and switching from being a full stack javascript developer to quant developer profile because of better pay and perks. 

My main goal is to save about 100k pounds in two years to have enough to bootstrap a startup and sustain a team of 5 people upto 2 years. 

Please share any advice you have for me. Thank you!

Trying to move to EU from Full Stack to Quant Developer profile- Grapevine

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?

Software Engineer

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)

Suggestions on Moving to Europe

I'm a fresher working as a Data Analyst. I'm thinking of going to the EU for an Mtech in ML (Computer Vision) in 2025. I'm looking at Sweden, Germany, Norway etc for the same.

My long term goal is to settle down in the same country. I'm aware that job opportunities compared to the US are far less in Europe, but I wanted to know if I should stick to my plan or consider the US for my future plans.

My priorities are living conditions, social security benefits, and salary, in that order.

Thank you so much if you leave any advice below!

Front-end developer role to a full-stack engineer role with AWS expertise

Software Developer

I have 1.5 YoE as a frontend developer in an early stage startup. 

I need help with deciding where do I go from here? Do I deep dive into frontend? Do I try to move to full stack?

Things to consider:
- I am from a non CS background
- frontend in India seems to be a bit saturated, especially for entry/mid level roles.

I'd appreciate your advice, thanks :)

Planning my career as a frontend developer

Frontend Engineer

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

Product Manager

Consultant

Off late I have been contemplating moving out of India given the work culture, pathetic pay scales, bad governance etc.

Which is the best route to do so? Should I check with immigration consultants? I saw that Aus, Canada have skilled worker shortage. Will that help my case?

Are there companies who are willing to sponsor visa? Any success stories that you can share. 

What are my options so I can make the right move ?

PS. I am currently a PM (MBA+B.Tech) working for a US based company (remotely). 10+ yoe.

Tips and expectations for moving to EU

Finance Consultant

I have 8 years of experience working as a software Engineer, i worked for 3 startups in these 8 years, Now I am planning to switch and I have 2 offers one from a seed stage start-up and one from Faang like company. What should I choose. I am more into front end development, pay in startup is 10% less which is not a concern for me. I like working in startups, my only concern is how it will affect me in the long term maybe after 5-10 years.

Help me decide Startup vs Faang like company.

I am a full stack engineer and looking for a job as a remote employee with a company in the EU. I am wondering if there is an upper limit on what these companies can pay. I am thinking of aiming for a salary in the 50k-60k range or the 80k-100k range. I need to get a general idea of what is realistic and what is not before applying for jobs.

Have been working in India in a product role for about 5 years, looking to move to UK/Europe. Any suggestions on how to accomplish that?

Looking to move to UK/Europe

I have basic idea about what a quant developers do. But need a detailed roadmap from an experienced person and how much time does it take if i start from scratch?

I want to be a quant developer? What is the roadmap in india to become a quant dev?

I have 10+ years of experience as QA automation engineer and now I am thinking about changing the movement from QA profile to Dev profile as I have seen some of the exponential growth in dev profile, I am sure If I am thinking it correctly but I think this would be a good decision for me so Posting here to get some feedback about it.

Switching to Dev Profile

I am a software engineer with 3 years of experience .For the first two initial years I was working as a QA in one of the good product companies with a very sorted work life balance .
I had recently switched to a BE role in a startup 
I am very much lagging behind here because of my QA background  ,the people here are very much talented and are great problem solvers .How do I reach that level ?
I have been  struggling to keep up with the pace here and finding it difficult to approach the tasks,even though i have been giving so much of time to work .
And the TL  in my team have a certain amount of expectations and hence they don't help according to that .(which i feel is fair)
How should I approach this  and level up here 
Anyone with a similar background and story please share your experience :) 
Any advice would really help

Need advice

Does anyone have idea how can i apply to companies in europe. What all job portals are there. Can you get into FAANG level companies in europe from india directly?

Moving to Europe

Happy to connect with like minded people to start learning and building together.

Been on a job break for around 2 months, joined not so great startup with 10% hike. What should be my approach now in learning to get 40-50 LPA in an year? What tech stack to move to? Please guide. Currently has 2.5 yoe with 28 base ctc.

I am frontend developer with 5 years exp, no of jobs are generally high for full stack developers in platforms than only frontend developers. 

I was thinking going deep in frontend and learning more helps before.but current job market is changing my views.

Can u plz help to clear my confusion on next steps in career!?

Should I be in frontend or move to full stack?

As you can guess, i joined as a front end developer in a startup last month. I have got no degree whatsoever.
I am great at coding. I have done 700 leetcode questions (in JS😅). I intend to have a package of 20LPA next year. Maybe less.
What should i do to maximize my pay scale while having little time for myself.
I don't want to go insane in pursuing it.
To all the high earners,please give me advice. 
PS-: I also want to join atlassian some day. REMOTE
