Techie with decade of experience in US struggles to find job in India: ‘Need to support aging parent’
A seasoned software developer with nearly a decade of experience in the United States is facing unexpected challenges while attempting to secure a job in India. In a candid Reddit post, the techie, who has worked as a full-stack Stack Software Developer at two universities for the past nine years, shared his struggles and noted that despite having an impressive resume and a master’s degree from the University of Michigan, he he has only received one recruiter screening call, which was ultimately rejected by the hiring manager. To address these gaps, he has recently begun learning AWS and is considering whether to spend the next six months upgrading his skill set before applying for jobs again. A user suggested, “Join a company with India presence and ask for move to India” Another added, “Its cut throat competition in India with horrible wlb unless you have contacts who can refer you” Also read: Indian man slams 'bad behaviour from North Indians' in Vietnam, post divides internet
