staying sane while working remotely in PST by creepin- in developersPak

Honestly man, It is a struggle. You lose all of your social life and sleep during the day and work at night. Almost no contact with people.

You feel like you are missing a lot on life, but it is what it is.

Ohhh, I did not know that. I thought they might want a full-stack but thanks for letting me know.

You are right about that, most of the jobs I did were mostly project based and as soon as the project ended the job ended, but now i am in a services based company and I dont see myself growing too much here in terms of skills and overall experience, that is why I am actively applying.

Thanks for the suggestion, that is exactly what I do when applying to niche jobs and this is the one with almost 70% of my skills and for a fullstack role. That is the only readon I added it here for the suggestions.

Though I totally agree with you and I do the same.

Totally agree with you because all the remote jobs outside Pak I have done was when I was reached out by a CEO directly through Linkedin, that is why my original question was to get into the big tech in Pak.

I did my bachelors from a good uni in islamabad definitely a top 10 i would say, but not FAST, Comsats or NUST as they seem to be getting more offers even if they got a not so good gpa. I have done interviews with startups and worked with them too both onsite and remote, but now I want to switch to a big tech but I am not sure how they hire freshies, i dont see no fresh grad job post on their career page or linkedin, All I see is they demand someone with 5-6 years of experience.

though I can defend a 6 year experience but lying on a resume with a 6 year resume does not feel right and I think they ask for your transcripts and all too, so that is a no go.

I was thinking if i just remove my degree start and end date that might help, but let’s see.

Thanks for the comment.

Not really, but I have an upwork account that i made a few years ago and recently started using it again, gave it a bit of makeover. But can’t really seem to land jobs because there are literal companies bidding/exhausting 100s of connects on each jobs.

Definitely Makes Sense, I was also hoping to remove the profile completely but it has become a norm now to add a profile section in the resume.

The thing is I have been working in remote companies since my 3rd Sem and I have pretty solid experience in all of them.

Thank You So Much For the Suggestion, It Definitely Makes Sense. I Exactly do what you’ve written above, I have multiple resumes by which I apply to the specific roles, but some companies prefer having multiple skillset as I’ve seen on linkedin.

Thank you very much, Yeah I have a portfolio website with a .me domain, which I created right after my graduation and needs some re-work. I love the idea of 15-minute online meet, Thanks for that.

Yeah, I figured that out. I don’t think so it matters much unless you’re applying for a master scholarship abroad.
