How to move easily out of India?
I'm working as SDE1 in India. I've been here for almost a year, 3 months as full time and I don't really like this place much. But getting promoted to SDE2 is easier in my org. My aim is to move out of India and I'm not planning to study abroad. What's the easiest way to move out of India? Should I stick with Amazon or should I go to some other company in India? Is it possible to get an offer directly for locations outside India preferably UK or US as a new grad? I don't think I can work hard to get promoted and prepare for interviews at the same time, any help will help me align myself.
Is it a common goal of Indian youth to move out of their home country through corporate sponsorship? Like were you guys fed Microsoft propaganda at an early age or something?

Yes, to be honest. More Indians study MS just to go abroad not because they like to learn more. Why not should I experience working with other people?
Easy way is to get on to a merchant ship. Throw your passport. Get caught by the foreign border patrol. Appeal refugee status. You get PR in a year just like so many trespassers in the US. The hard way is to prepare for GRE and TOEFL. Apply to universities. Score between 3.5 and 4.0, and at least one internship. Leetcode more. Get a full-time job. Apply for eb3 or eb2 perm and wait in line for 150 years. Stay employed. Stay in your specialized field so there are less issues renewing your H1B every three years for next 150 years. While you do so much of this, have a healthier life so you can make it to another 150 years. Good luck.
See that’s the problem.. most Indians feel it’s a bed of 🌹 here in us uk etc. Because of ur desperation people are ready to come to onsite at bare minimum Lca salary of 70-80k and once they land here they realize life is totally different and you have to do everything followed by 100+year wait for gc and then they start crying and sulk... Check blind and you will see so many desi people cribbing that how American immigration system is broken and how they deserve gc like tomorrow... they then start posting about Canadian pr etc in hopes of going to Canada.. If your goal is just the same then you are welcome to this huge train of migrants and enjoy the ride.. But don’t come and crib in 6 months when life starts throwing 🍋 at you..
I never thought it was this bad. Maybe I should start thinking about this after I hear my friends who are studying there
Lol it is bad. Working in US after doing undergrad and grad from a top CS school and feels like I don’t have any certainty in US.
Why so many Indians want to leave but also many of them want to move back??
Grass is always greener on the other side
İts just a population size issue man. For example, the population of Delhi alone is 4X the size of Norway's entire population. İf every Indian and Chinese recent grad leaves to go work in a first world country, itll saturate the job market of all major first world countries. That's why they make it difficult. İ say that because you seem to think there is a simple secret which if you knew, you could go anywhere. Education is one of the easier paths of achieving this. İ personally wouldnt recommend the US. As a non-indian who went through the whole F1 student to citizen path (which took 15 years in total) i wouldnt do it again. İ would look into europe. After my brother's north American adventure didn't get him a green card, went to Germany. He likes it much more there. İn about 3 years he's about to get the blue card. Hes much happier, likes the lifestyle more. İ spent a couple months with him, and now im trying to see how i can do something more permanent in Germany myself. Whatever you do, just dont fall into the traps of 2 types of dangerous people. 1) the people that have never went to or lived in a country (US, UK, Germany, etc. ) But they tell you how amazing life is there. And how easy it is. Etc. They know so much because some auntie/uncle/cousin is there so they know so. 2) the people that live there and tell you all rosy stories about how amazing life is in the US/UK/Germany and brag and tell you how lucky they are and how one day you should try it too. Everywhere has its pros and cons. EVERYWHERE. So dont ask them how life is, so they can tell you how amazing it is. Ask them about the hardest part, the discrimination, how integrated they feel, how many local friends they have, how long the whole process took, what their limitations were to travel and change jobs during that time, how many weddings and funerals they missed at home, how much time, money, effort and emotions they spent throughout the whole process, how long it will take for them to own their own house in the city they live in and compare that house to what you live in in India. Etc. Etc. İf you find a place that gives you PR or citizenship in 5 years, without a difficult and draining process and with a strong passport to which you can go anywhere without a visa, and live in a city where your salary allows you to own your own decently nice house/apartment in 5-10 years. Let me know. İll pay you 100,000 USD for the tip. Hope that helps.
If it was easy, then nobody would come here to slog for Masters, every graduate program in the US would shutdown, and every Indian would apply for FAANGS in India. Its funny how people who are cribbing here for 150 year wait wont go back even after waiting 15 years for a GC. Canada is like 1/10 of USA. If you dont believe me then take a walk through Silicon Valley, Canadians come there to work. Your best option is Masters. Biggest risk in life is not taking any risk.
It is actually pretty easy to move to US as SDE2 in Amazon. Op does not want to wait for 2 years.
Google hires L3/L4 for its European offices directly from India.
Stick to Amazon . Amazon offers easy relocation to move outside India.
