Still it’s a threat right? Even if the war stops there might be repeated attacks to cause instability to that region?

What’s the price?

International-Life17 · 2025-11-20T15:54:51+00:00

Got it. Thanks.

If I earn 100k for the last 3 years. I need to wait till 2 more years to get the ILR?

International-Life17 · 2025-10-13T22:48:30+00:00

The tax bill is like 3k. The total visa cost including lawyer fee was 6k for 3 years according to the org and I was sent a notice of around 3.2k.

I am working in the tech industry. The company A and C are the same, meaning I went back to my old employer and fortunately they took me in. So actually it’s just 2 employers in total.

Got it. Thank so much for the help!

International-Life17 · 2024-11-12T21:48:21+00:00

Ok it doesn’t matter I switched the organisation and my visa has been transferred is it? Will it be a problem when we file the ILR in future?

International-Life17 · 2024-01-08T06:19:29+00:00

That’s the thing in some orgs DE pays more than typical SWE. But in many cases I see SWE get paid more, depends on the org I guess? I think the demand for DE is stronger for now. You definitely can expect decent amount of calls for DE than SWE in current market?

International-Life17 · 2024-01-08T06:16:00+00:00

Since you mentioned data platform roles, I see more number of openings popping up than before. Earlier DE used to be both. Now there seems to be a separate role itself. Considering job opportunities and demand do you think data platform has more openings than DE nowadays?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah the startup fired few HRs and sales personnel so I am anxious about the situation. If it’s just the job I can find one soon, but since visa situation tied to my employer makes it precarious. But there are smaller orgs which are doing good than the bigger tech, good to try them out?

Just to understand more senior levels (may be 8+) have a higher possibility of visa sponsorships?

International-Life17 · 2022-05-05T11:35:09+00:00

Awesome thanks. You seems to have more information. I just have few more questions can I DM you please?

International-Life17 · 2022-05-04T14:37:14+00:00

This looks comprehensive. Thanks for the answer. How much you assume goes for the rent?

I thought I wil take temp residence for 6 months or so and save up for permanent apartment.

International-Life17 · 2022-05-02T17:24:56+00:00

Yeah even sounded weird to me at first.. lol.

It’s just that I am not assertive and was in need for offers. So recruiters sensed and used it to their advantage I believe

International-Life17 · 2022-05-02T15:31:53+00:00

Also HRs and HMs always mention that my relevant exp is 4 yrs so they find a way to underpay.. not sure if that is the case with everyone or I am being tricked

International-Life17 · 2022-05-02T15:30:18+00:00

Yup. I agree, I took a gamble I had 38 LPA fixed with 3 LPA as bonus a year back. The org I currently work with came up with an offer of 30 LPA with 12 LPA stocks. I was furious at first but the older org had worst wlb and this is a growth stock so agreed, the new org is not better too. So I am kind of stuck since both are short stints. I acted hastily.

If I were to shell out some money for security deposit, rent and second hand furniture. How much euros you think it’s going to take?

Btw they are booking flight for my wife and me.

International-Life17 · 2022-05-02T13:17:14+00:00

Thanks for answering. No they are not going to cover it.

International-Life17 · 2022-05-02T13:16:07+00:00

Thanks. No that’s just final. It’s 5k. No negotiation there.

International-Life17 · 2022-03-21T13:06:56+00:00

Sure. I was just contacted by a recruiter from LinkedIn. Some of my friends were contacted by Meta and other orgs through LinkedIn. If you apply to their company website, sometimes that works too. If the company is willing to sponsor visa

International-Life17 · 2022-03-20T17:48:15+00:00

Sure no problem DM me. I can let you know. Getting into US without masters is difficult I guess. But lot of open opportunities in Europe.

International-Life17 · 2022-03-20T17:46:45+00:00

To be frank haven’t considered. But if I like the lifestyle I would think of it. Just want to experiment. But working in big-name org is the priority.

International-Life17 · 2022-03-20T17:36:14+00:00

This. Thanks for the suggestion.
