Which all places have your company had trips to

Hey there, I am a fresher who started working at a company with hybrid work policy. I have been seeing many people from my company, as well as friends from other companies, who visit their hometown quite frequently. Now, I don't have a problem in meeting the family, but what I have been wondering is, that nowadays the flight tickets are so expensive (mind you, many of them live in North India), so at what frequency should one visit their hometown? How do you find the right balance between managing your finances and making time for your family?

Are there any companies that would make PMs travel regularly to different countries?

Hello, I was just curious on how often you all have office visits ? I work at a startup in singapore , visited there once and loved the experience. Share your similar experience below, I am curious to know how is it for you all 😸

The number of times I've heard people say shit like 'traveling makes you grow as a person'. Someone please specify what this growth looks like because I've never experienced it. I don't think traveling is life-changing. I think most people have a romanticized, cinema-like idea of traveling that has been exaggerated even more because of social media. It definitely is fun to go on a vacation. But in most cases, that's all it is -- a source of entertainment. Maybe an ice-breaker the next time you go to some pretentious party. Am I missing something?

I have been working in an internal project at a service-based company for almost 3 years now (that's my total YOE) and I feel like I need to move out of my comfort zone. (more so because I've been rotting in my home location since the pandemic). I want to move to a different country and work there (temporary is fine as well) Can you guys name a few companies that provide onshore opportunities (outside India, preferably European countries) along with the criteria to be deployed on such projects? Please also mention if Visa is arranged by the company or not Techstack I've worked on till date includes:- Asp.Net Angular Power Apps HTML/CSS/JS Thanks in advance!

I have many friends who are into IT and Tech(read again Tech not IT). Whenever I am speaking to the IT folks and understand their aspirations I always find that they have this strange thing mentioned every now and then i.e. Going to the Clients location(all overseas) for a couple of months and coming back or extending for a longer duration say a few years and purchasing a house/flat back in India. I don't understand how going to the client's location(even if it's on Mars) and earning $$$ can be life's ultimate goal. What am I missing here? I am not able to understand since I have always believed that life's ultimate goal would be always bigger for people(achievable/non achievable are different things). Does working in IT make people so myopic that they are destined to think in the straight line process and wait for that token(at least what I have heard is that it's some weird selection they do to select and send you abroad on the projects). May be this thought process makes most of the crowd stick to the systems for years and decades at work. Is it considered that bigger of an achievement OR Is it a way to make people stick around for longer duration ? What am I missing here ? How can life goals be so small ?

Ok I'll send my kido on international vacation 🤷🏽‍♂️

My first startup had a smoking zone where there was gramophone looking art piece where people used to dump their ashes. Later someone told me that it’s a Bluetooth speaker and no one cared to put it back after the party that happened two weeks back. That was true culture shock.

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?

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
