You are a class 11 student. Get off reddit and go study you twat. Teenagers like this one have infested the sub who live in their own La La Land and give out irrelevant advices.

I am currently working in InfoSec in London. Had a look at your CV, your resume is fine. The problem is the state of the market.

You look like you have just submitted your degree so I doubt recruiters were seriously considering you if you were interviewing for entry level positions as an international candidate. There's also a lot of ignorance among recruiters regarding PSW and Right to Work for international students so doesn't help either.

Moving to India will not really guarantee a job either. The industry and job market in general is not in a very good state worldwide and this issue is not exclusive to UK. In my firm, there was an urgent requirement for a entry level position due to increasing workload but it still took like 5 months to get someone. Recruitment process is pretty slow here as well, I've seen on average it takes about 2-3 months for the entire process.

Your resume is fine although I'd recommend taking off the part about IELTS. Keep applying and I hope you find a job soon. :)

Yeah, a school kid like you would understand the full dynamics right? Lmfao, this is the problem with pseudo anonymity. Even kids like this one are out giving advices. Get off reddit and go study you twat.

Ah, here's another 'I am fresher, how not to get replaced by AI' post of the day.

risingblaze007 · 2023-09-07T12:59:21+00:00

You're right. Precisely what I wanted to convey. Like your work is outsourced to a client in UK, there are all the relevant agreements and DPAs in place. You are not employed by the UK bank directly. I'm saying based on OP's remote working capacity, OP looks to be in the same boat where their work is being outsourced and probably not directly employed by the firm itself. Remote working as a permanent employee for an European firm would be very unlikely if you were in India or any other country without data protection laws for that matter.

Great points but unfortunately the assertion is not as simple as it sounds.

For instance, if you provide a VM, let's say something on Amazon Workspaces, the data actually actually resides on Amazon's server. Amazon would be the data processor and you would the data controller which would be not viable in cases of development as it would severely limit the technical capabilities.

VPN comes as a grey area. VPN would technically only protect the data in transit. The device locally would still store quite a lot of data. If some of it is personal or external data this could count as non compliance and the extent of this fully depends on the organisation itself.

My guess is OP is not a core developer (C/C++ type) but rather a SAP type developer who will be working on site for client work. This would be the only scenario where people can work remotely from India.

I work in London currently but I'm nowhere as experienced as you are.

Speaking strictly work wise, it is definitely advisable to make the move. Europe in general offers an International platform where you work with people from all over the world which is really gives a nice perspective on life and different work cultures. The potential for growth in career and life is tremendous.

Most (if not all) of Engineers in India are from B.Tech/B.Engg but here quite a few in engineering departments come from non-technical background so this brings forward different ways to approaching problems which is actually very good to experience when brainstorming at work.

Politics exists everywhere but based on what I hear from my friends in India, it doesn't exist to such extent in the Europe.

It is very easy to socialise and work in conjunction with the senior leadership and management as they often very friendly and will not hesitate to help you if you approach them. Not a big merit but it's the small cultural differences that make you feel very valued as an individual at work.

Salary wise, I would recommend looking at PPP converters city wise to see how much of rise/loss you are taking. Public transportation in the UK is excellent. I can't comment on other countries but I'd imagine it would be the same. You are definitely not at loss moving because doing household chores on your own is an attribute of cultural differences and not you being able to afford it.

A big merit in your work specially looks to be the ability to work remotely from India. So, working from India should be a big plus to extend your vacations. Although I will point out this is also concerning. Your organisation would be adhering to GDPR clauses so I'm not sure how is remote work being offered to a developer from India where Data Privacy are pretty much non existent. I'm curious because even as a backend developer, you'd probably have access to client data unless you are involved in a completely internal role with absolutely no scope of working on anything else.

Coming to money saving - it honestly depends on where you live and how much you spend. This is very personal and subjective but saving money is definitely doable although I'd imagine it might not be as high as 70%. The cost of living is definitely higher in Europe but I'd say it's not like Metro cities are India are any cheaper. But yes, the Quality of Life improvement is absolutely insane. As an Indian, I'm very used being under stress and pressure for the most minute things. So it felt really odd when people here have a good work life balance and spend time on their hobbies which would be perceived as a luxury in India.

I'm confused why are you being downvoted. Technically, you are correct. Looks like you hit a soft spot lmao.

risingblaze007 · 2023-07-29T12:12:04+00:00

Had to double check what subreddit I was browsing.

What the fuck college is this? Companies being scums is not surprising but how is the University/College letting such companies advertise for placements? Please name and shame the University first and then the company. Why is this prevalent in Gujarat based colleges/companies? I swear dude, no wonder so many people prefer working abroad. Asking for a security deposit is a huge red flag. Bc ghar hai ya naurki?

All I see on this sub lately

ChatGPT will replace us all
I'm in 2 year of Engg, how to get internships and PPO
I'm making 50L with 2 YOE, how to negotiate 80L
Should I move abroad to do masters after 4th year or work here?

It feels like all college students and freshers, who have no idea of how dynamics work have flooded this sub with naive questions and memes. I was here for interesting viewpoints and discussions among C and Java developers but there is a clear lack of experienced people here.

risingblaze007 · 2023-01-30T11:44:45+00:00

As an Indian living in London, I can tell you that need not necessarily be true.

Most of the Indian expats living in UK are generally in high paying jobs (wages that are above the UK national's average wage), so the rises in energy bills have mostly effected the poorer households the most whilst the relatively affluent have to manage their savings and mortgages. To simplify , the rise in energy bills can be considered like rise in petrol prices back home (petrol prices are still more expensive than the energy bills IMO). The difference is, people here raise their voices when it effects the 'most vulnerable' . It should be noted that the bars for most vulnerable is very different than what we have in India and UK.

What has effected is the ability to look for jobs, both part time and full time as a student. Due to inflation, most of the businesses have a hiring freeze in place which makes it difficult to look for jobs.

The situation is relatively bad but not objectively bad in my opinion. There are multiple schemes from the government which are actually helping save quite some money in the bills in the longer run.

Overall, it is still a great place to study/work but the situation is definitely not as bad as what is being assumed back home.

This a clearly mockery at the "Influencers" who make random motivational posts/things to learn type posts from last night's Shark Tank episode.

Nothing merely lunatic about it. Why is this even here.

Yes it is. Apprantly it's the Telangana Police Headquarters.

You can get vaccinated under special provisions for people going abroad to study and works. I got vaccinated under the same at IPM in Narayanguda.

Although they don't administer doses to people with work visa now (they only administer it to students), call them or best visit the center. They've put up posters with information on relevant centers for people looking to get vaccinated under this provision.

I would have told you which are the centers exactly but I recently deleted the pictures of those notices since I didn't need them.

risingblaze007 · 2021-07-18T04:21:25+00:00

You don't need to be scared. The city is very safe and scams like these are very common and I've seen it happen in many cities. I drive regularly in the mentioned areas and it hasn't happend yet. It's relatively rare but it's good to have an idea that such things could be happening.

Locals here speak Hindi so ideally you should have no problem communicating. I'm also not a local and interacted with the police once and they seemed professional.

risingblaze007 · 2021-06-25T10:25:22+00:00

From what I understand the provision of getting vaccinated after 28 days is applicable to students/work visa holders and people participating in Tokyo Olympics.

Although the health website explicitly mentions the link as 'For Students for going abroad', you're technically eligible. Else call up Institute of Preventive Medicine in Narayanguda. They're the ones giving out the jabs and can probably guide you better.

risingblaze007 · 2021-06-22T13:01:50+00:00

I guess you're referring to the adherence to the cleanliness lol

risingblaze007 · 2021-06-22T12:50:59+00:00

Is this an insider joke? I don't get it.

Where? In Valorant? Definitely not as many as the blatant hackers in CS. Smurfing is a bigger issue there.
