Hey, I had worked with a Singapore based startup earlier and have typically seen three paths:

1) Get into an early stage company based their initially within a non SG geography, over time as you become more core to the company, they can pull you in on an EP

2) Directly getting into a Singapore based role - I have seen this typically being a low probability path, given limitations on EPs and cost to the company

3) Do an MBA in SGP and get a job there - has the highest conversion and more secure overall

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I am currently in the CEO's Office in a Social Enterprise - trying to learn the ropes of business. I am envisioning another 1.5 years in the org - given I have already hit 0.5 months mark here.

Post that I am targeting Singapore as my next career destination. I am still keen to work in Social Impact - Consulting, Impact Investment or Generalist roles.

What organisations will be a good fit for me? How should I prep myself - professionally and personally? 

Currently, I am extremely underpaid- 8 LPA and want to change that but I am not technically strong in anything so I want to build some impact in my current organisation first and become skilled.

Still I really need guidance here too.

What's should be the path to Singapore?- Grapevine

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.

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. 

Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then.

Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. 

But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. 

How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have been working in a small bootstrap startup ( 50 employees). The company is profitable and have great culture and ethics ( best out of the 4 companies I have worked for). 

I am expecting a decent salary hike (30%), career and learning growth. Should I look for a larger organisation or make up my mind for a long term career in my current organisation.

P.S. I have 3 years of post- MBA experience and I have done Btech and MBA from premium institutes.

Career Advice

I'm thinking that I haven't utilised my full potential and left behind from folks around me . 
Right now I'm 27 and earning 22LPA as an SDE. 
I'm constantly worried how can I earn better or make some skills which can bring some money too as IT industry is not stable. 
So what could be best for me to do : 
My strong point is if I focus on one thing I can put more efforts into that work. 

The options that I could think: 

1. Work on my tech skills and get into High paying IT job .
2. Pick one Govt exam and get any govt job . I'm thinking of SEBI grade A exam .
3. Pick up any skills like video editing start freelancing.
4.Prepare for MBA that might help me in longer run in corporate . 


Guys can you suggest which one area should I select and why . As if I focus on more than one I won't be able to fullfill any.

Want to level up career and finances

What is the ideal salary for someone who is targeting Program Manager in Strategy & Ops/Founder's-CEO's-MD's Office?

What is the rent like in the aforementioned cities? How much should one churn out to live modestly in these places?

For example: I used to make 60k+ INR in Gurgaon and my rent was 16k and miscellaneous was 15k more. Rest was all savings/investment.

Will love help here.

Hi everyone, I want to move to Singapore for personal reasons, but currently, I'm working at Accenture, and there are no testing job openings for me in accenture singapore. Does anyone have any advice? 
Additionally, could someone tell me:

Whether Accenture sponsors visas for employees moving to Singapore?
What the expected salary range might be for a tester in Singapore?
If service apartments are typically provided for employees relocating there?

Advice on Moving to Singapore with Accenture

3 years post-MBA exp. Currently at INR 35+ LPA. Offer in impact consulting at INR 23 LPA. Should I take it? Joining in Jan'24. Reason for switch - can't tolerate my toxic manager anymore. Have already put down my papers. 
Line of thought:
1. Take it - Something is better than nothing. At least paisa aate rahega.
2. Wait - Once I go at a lower package, difficult to demand a hike on my current one.
3. Take it, don't mention it - Companies will negotiate hard to lowball me if they know I am not working (gets worse if the LWD of my current company and the time am applying have a huge gap).

Money matters to me. But have been introspecting a lot. Will appreciate realistic input from the community.

Salary Cut

Growth Manager

Hello people,
I graduated last year and joined a fast-paced startup back in july as an SDE (2023 grad). So many things have changed so far within the company. Company has closed good series B funding. The top level management has changed, my manager and colleagues resigned due to the kind of work and cultural shift and lots of work but I stood there and delivered projects (was making them from scratch). Whatever was thrown on me during this time, I took that as an opportunity and delivered that. I literally worked on 4-5 tech stacks and built complex projects from scratch with 3 members team only.

Now it seems like their ask is never ending and they again want me to put in another techstack since the existing products we built are working fine and we are just maintaining it now. The culture of the company is still very good despite having lots of work though the pay is above average.

I am seeing my friends around me joining another company and getting much better hikes. I also want to make a switch but deep down in my heart I have these questions coming up:

1. Should I switch before completing 2 years since it's my first job and I have spent only 1 year so far here. I really don't want to make this habit of switching again and again.

2. The kind of bonding I have made with my colleagues so far. Will I be able to get the same environment in the new company?

3. Should I join the startup again or should I target MNCs now. Because I have been building multiple complex projects for the past 1.7 years (this is my 3rd startup) from scratch and this is also getting normalized for me. Is it time to work on a scale?

4. Feel less valued sometimes. Despite delivering lots of efforts, it seems like I am not getting valued much because it's kinda hardware company and things go around that only.

5. Although, I am working on complex projects here but sometimes I feel missing out if I hear what others are doing. Should I go to a pure software based company?

6. I am not making much here to be honest despite having much better coding skills (10 base + 2.5 PB + 2.5 VP) but I am able to manage  my money well despite living in Bangalore. Should I be hungry for more?

I would be happy to read your opinion on these guys.

Confused in life ...

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I did my graduation in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi Technological University. Worked my ass off during covid lockdown to grab a Software developer job. Number of hours spent on DSA and development for straight 3 years. 

I was able to grab a decent package being from mechanical background. Currently i am working in Accenture as a software developer -> Java full stack developer + Angular (12LPA ctc, 9 Base)

I want to work in a product based company which has better opportunities for me because i feel there is very limited opportunities in accenture and somehow people do not encourage to go for them at all. 

I need guidance on which companies should i be looking for great opportunities, great tech stack, with good management. Salary is never a obstacle for me. I am just looking for growth at this point of time in my career. Currently i am back to DSA again for interview preps.

Referrals are also well appreciated.

Need guidance on switching

Hi, I am currently 22, graduated recently from a tier 2 institute and currently working at a US based startup earning 18lpa ( almost all base ) + rsu's, lately my family have been nagging me to do a postgrad, I am confused weather I should do an MBA, MS or not do a postgrad at all considering the years I will miss in workex. 

What should be my best course of action considering ROI in the next 10-15 years ?? 

P.S. Currently I am not sure what my interest lies in, but just try to excel at whatever comes my way.

What should be my next steps ?

My only motive is to make money and that's it. Making friends is not a problem for me. 25 M and been in mental pain for 3Y now. Only way that I can envision to stop myself from falling apart is leaving the country and living far away from the people I know.
Education: 3Y undergraduate from IPU.

Work Ex: 1.5Y product design & post that 2Y working in a known's business as their right-hand man overseeing new initiatives.

I am stuck as to what should be the charter and how should I move and where should I move? Only motive is to make money. Independent enough to manage everything else. 

People of this group people share your thoughts and what should be an ideal pathway.

Thanks.

Excessive family involvement to the the point of torture. I have to leave India asap.

I am working in a Pre Seed GenAI Startup (2020 Founded) as Head of Engineering (Team of 20 with 5-6 in Engineering, No CTO) 

It's been 3.5 years (3yrs Full Time + 6mon Internship) Previously it is in EdTech now in GenAI Space 

My CTC is 8 LPA + 0.45% ESOPs (10-12L in 25cr valuation). 
Skills: Nodejs, Nextjs, Monorepos, MongoDB, AWS, Serverless

1-2yrs ago we were thinking about scaling the tech team, etc but then that EdTech model started failing and then we went to a war time after that we pivoted currently also we are burning money revenue is there but very less (25% of the expense)

I was of the view that I want to lead teams and scale products That's why I was there in the team It can be the case tomorrow if we scale 

but Now I am confused whether I should switch my job and or stick with the startup maybe the startup grow tomorrow or a big VC fund us to scale (as I have ESOPs) or it will just be a waste of time or opportunity cost

Please guide 🙏 Anyone with a similar startup experience would really appreciate your help 🙏
