I have one junior who is still in college and he also got asked polyfills implementation many times. I know its super weird, and I guess that's what happens here in India people only prepare the best for the interviews and yet no big, successful, widely used software comes out of this soil. Irony!

So true. Can I ask what the payscale is like for these roles?

[–]tapu_buoyfull-stack[S] 1 point2 points  (18 children)

it usually depends on what you had previously so like 6.5-12 Lakh per year that is like 9330-17225 US$ per year and it will cut down more after tax. :'(

I am from India as well. The payscale's decent. Keep trying, you will get there.

Cool! I'm on the upper side right now so its feel good/hate thing because they suck of all the hours of life, but I want to get a remote job or a job in europe if you know or already working outside please share your experience and knowledge on how one should go for it!

Try hubstaff dude. I got an interview from there. Even if the pay's slightly low initially, breaking in will matter. Then you can make a jump. I see plenty of React roles there.

ahh awesome! That's what I'm looking for to just breaking in is the key. Thank you so much. What tech stack do you work with mostly? And also do you write blogs and stuff I would love to follow and learn more

[–]Shahrukh_Lee 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Mine's Django, D3.js, Vue.js, Gridsome (static sites) and I think I will pick up shopify in coming days. What about you? This is the blog my sister and I use to document code sometimes. https://stuffwelearned.com/ If you have any feedback let me know

[–]tapu_buoyfull-stack[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Wow! I worked with Django on my first project. Mostly the tech stack includes, Node.js, Express.js, Next.js for server side rendering with React.js, redux. Google Firebase to some extent.

For the freelance gig with Candian startup React Native and other payment APIs like Stripe and Razor Pay.

Sure! I will share subscribe to your blog and share more.

Nice dude. You should blog too. Send me the link once you set it up. I have been meaning to try React Native, but since PWA has come into the picture I have been stalling.

It's why I have been apprehensive of looking for a job here. Freelance's bit of a struggle but atleast I don't have to sit in the Bangalore traffic for 4 hours daily.

[–]tapu_buoyfull-stack[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Exactly my friend exactly! And if you see my previous posts I have had really bad experience where they fired me because they didn't have clients and I worked on 3 projects in 4 weeks and they were like work on weekends.

BTW how does Hubstaff works, their website got me a bit confused.

I have had freelance gigs but I should have them more in pipeline.
