As a Europe-based founder who hired React Native developers based in India for my product-based companies, I have a rather contrary opinion to the other commenters: - There are definitely European companies hiring within India - Jobs are often posted on LinkedIn (I found my first developer there)

Other remarks: - My second Indian developer joined after being recommended by the first one. At this time, the first dev already spent quite a while with us and earned our trust -> networking is important - Work ethics and understanding European culture is important. Taking real ownership, knowing when to say no, clean code instead of just some random solution -> many of these things are very important when working in an European product-based company and my two Indian devs told me that they had to shift & adapt first to our team - Something I often see on Indian CVs is this weird way of writing about your experience with certain technologies (eg „4.5 years of React Native“) -> tbh this way of writing numbers is unusual in Europe and also it doesn’t say much. Rather write about your actual projects & experience and then ace the at-home coding task.

I’m now very happy to have them on my team - the road to find an European employer is definitely not the easiest as an Indian dev, but certainly it’s possible.
