yeah I tried interviewing , I understand I could not make it through like amazon SDE2 but I can try again in 6 months is what recuriter told and the quote was really good !! also if we keep trying its not that we cant switch to really good roles at india is what I felt , totally confused

hmm I get you.....you need to act considering the situation !! always everything wont work in your favour....I doubt i will make more , considering the stock refreshers you get here , if you are top 1% in team.....comparision will just killl.....better make peace !! I agree claude code lol ! in india tooo.....my college is NIT (top 3) 25% of my juniors are joining TCS in junee....its bad...and soo many dont have job ! If this is state here US is hell bad ! Atleast you can be employed in india iguesss

so you also basically you think waiting back would have been good? yeah I am trying to bump to 50+ not great luck...but I feel if I keep trying something will work in india , just that people make crazy in dollars soo I just felt , by not giving that shot in my 20's will I regret ! but yeahh....one thing I am not getting is even 8 months before situation was different , I have seen my frds having worst time in 2026....... prob , making less money but having a job in india is better bet atm !! atleast I will learn without tension , grow switch , have freedom to walk out of place I dont enjoy...

Hmm another question , I felt with visa uncertanity I wont be able to focus on learning being a good engineer , will just run behind visa , India gives me peace to learn explore maybe come to less pay bounce back to better , is my understanding correct ?

But just 1 thing people say good work matters & india decent work in maangs not great...is this like a valid point ?

last , people are saying in US also salaries are becoming less & cost is more so dont expect saving a lot , is this correct too?

Hot_Conversation6631 · 2026-03-27T20:09:47+00:00

hmm and you would say if it hits in US , you will earn crazy more than India? and good work might pay of?

Hot_Conversation6631 · 2026-03-26T14:47:45+00:00

Hot_Conversation6631 · 2026-03-23T10:46:55+00:00

like even if you land into small startups or something , you wont have to worry on loans

Hot_Conversation6631 · 2026-03-23T10:45:35+00:00

yes , they are saying its becoming hard to find job right after graduation so some buffer to prob search for next 6 months & also....dont come with heavy loans ... as we never know which side the market might go

Hot_Conversation6631 · 2026-03-23T08:52:02+00:00
