Hi all, I want to take a moment and thank you all for taking sometime and many of you here gave me referral's, found amazing people here, no doubt world is surviving with the great people like you guys!! Im very happy that I met some awesome people here, but unfortunately despite being referred to many companies,not getting a call back from the recruiters:( I want to move to UK very badly due to family responsibilities, day by day it's getting very tough to buck up the confidence and prepare and be consistent at things. Don't know if I'm gonna make it or not, but every one is waiting for my offer, but here I'm barely receiving the interview calls! Don't know what to do! Also its really inspiring and depressing at the same time when I see people's tc's like 300k...500k...etc!! Damn! Look at me here, with tc 45k but still I'm glad and happy, that all the people here who are earning that much must have gone thru this phase and my massive respect to you guys!! Don't know what I'm going to do! Want to spend a happy and peaceful life. All the family responsibilities is on me! So much pressure, want to make everyone happy! No matter what and how depressing its gonna be, I'm not gonna give up! Common guys,no offense, how can we so stone hearted, let's support others to get them succeed! Your help will pays you back one day! Trust the process and make the world a better place to live! Love, live and let live!! One day I'll repost here, saying that I'm giving the salaries to my employees with >500k and I'll be damn CEO of my company! Literally no one, no one in this world will make you succeed, only YOU! You!! Trust yourself Man! Feeling like moving from India to London will be hard, don't know how will I get an offer! Hoping that I'll make it to London one day! Kudos to you guys, who are really nailing out there, Massive respect!! #life #motivation #engineering #ARM #Adobe #Airbnb #Alphonso #Anduril #Ansatz #AppDynamics #AppliedIntuition #Arcesium #ArgoAI #ArthurAI #Atlassian #Auth0 #Aviso #Bain #Bigbasket #Blackbuck #Bloomreach #Booz #Box #Box8 #Brex #Broadcom #BrowserStack #CRED #Carta #Cisco #Citadel #Citrix #Cloudera #Cocoon #Codenaton #Cohesity #Coinbase #Compass #Confluent #Cruise #CureFit #DEShaw #Databricks #Datadog #Deloitte #Directi #Doordash #Dream11 #DropBox #Dunzo #Expedia #Facebook #FiveRings #Flipkart #Freshworks #Github #Gitlab #Gojek #GoldmanSachs #Grab #HRT #Harness #Hasura #HealthifyMe #Hotstar #Indeed #Inmobi #Instabase #Instacart #Intel #Intuit #JUMP #JaneStreet #Jio #Juniper #KhanAcademy #LinkedIn #Lyft #Makemytrip #McKinsey #MentorGraphics #Microsoft #MorganStanley #MotorQ #MyGate #NASA #NetApp #Notion #Nuro #Nutanix #Nvidia #Ola #Optiver #Oracle #Oyo #PaloAltoNetworks #Paytm #Persona #Pinterest #Pipe #Plaid #Postman #Practo #Quadeye #Qualcomm #Qubole #Quill #Radix #Ramp #Razorpay #Reddit #Redhat #Rippling #Robinhood #Rubrik #Salesforce #Samsung #SanDisk #ScaleAI #ServiceNow #Sharechat #Shopify #Slack #Snap #Snowflake #Splunk #Sprinklr #Square #SquareSpace #Stackoverflow #Stripe #Stytch #Sumologic #Swiggy #Target #Tekion #Tesla #TexasInstruments #TowerResearch #Transcend #Transform #Truecaller #Twilio #Twitter #TwoSigma #Uber #Udaan #Unacademy #Upgrad #VMWare #VMware #Visa #Vizury #Walmart #Watershed #Waymo #Whatfix #Wissen #WorldQuanty #Zolve #Zomato #adobe #affirm #airbnb #airtable #akunacapital #alteryx #amazon #apple #applovin #argoai #asana #aurora #benchling #blackrock #blend #bloomberg #box #brex #bytedance #chegg #chime #citadel #cloudflare #cockroachlab #coinbase #compass #crowdstrike #cruise #databricks #datadog #digitalocean #discord #docusign #doordash #dropbox #duolingo #ebay #engineering #etsy #fireeye #fiveringscapital #flexport #github #google #groupon #grubhub #headspace #hiring #houzz #hubspot #imc #instacart #janestreet #janestreetcapital #jobhunt #jumptrading #lendingclub #linkedin #lyft #meta #microsoft #mongodb #mozilla #netflix #newgrad #nextdoor #niantic #okta #opendoor #optiver #palantir #pandora #peloton #pinterest #plaid #purestorage #quora #reddit #referral #tinder #bumble #rivianautomotive #robinhood #roblox #roku #rubrik #salesforce #samsara #scaleai #shopify #slack #snap #snapchat #snowflake #software #splunk #spotify #square #squarespace #stripe #sumologic #swe #tableau #tech #twitch #twitter #twosigma #uber #uipath #unity #verkada #virtufinancial #waymo #yelp #engineering #software #swe
With London salaries and taxes you would save nothing
If you can write this long when you are feeling low, try becoming a professional writer on Medium or something
Need a few more hashtags. Not nearly enough.
Assuming two things: 1) It’s $45k TC 2) You’re in India. If you want to move to London, then you need to figure out the visa stuff for UK and referrals from American community will not help you in the long run. Just my 2 cents.
45k TC in India a quite good sum to make a living unless you have a family of 10 people. I dunno why you're not happy with that in India. Is it just because people getting 500k TC is making you unhappy? Then I am afraid no amount of TC is gonna make you happy man. Also there is almost 0 chance to make 500k TC in London right away as probably thats a principal engineer level salary for top faangs. Also a an above average UK sde salary like 100k won't allow you to have as much savings as you can in India.
I understand:) But every month I need to pay 2.5lakh for debts and emi's.. Helping my family to get out that shit! So yeah now you know why I'm taking this much pressure in such a small age!
Gotcha! Thats a lot of money to pay back I guess. But if that's your concern then moving to the UK won't help unless you land an astounding offer considering the taxes and CoL. Build your CV and furnish your github with some exciting projects. Takes time to get to the stage where you're in incredible demand, but I firmly believe you'll get there. I woukd start checking local tier 1/2 company positions tbh, way more chance to land something faster than in the UK, ask people in blind to refer you and get your resume screened some someone here at blind to check for improvements.
