Hi, I have 6 years experience and currently holding an offer from Microsoft Bangalore - 62 Level. TC: Base: 33 LPA INR Joining Bonus: 5L + 3L INR Stocks (90k USD ) in 4 years I didn't have much idea earlier that I could apply in companies in Europe also. I have resigned and have 1.5 months before I join Microsoft. I have tried applying to many known companies(Github, Linkedin, Stripe, Salesforce, HBO, Apple etc) in London, Berlin, Ireland etc from LinkedIn but I don't get any reply. The only interview pending is from Facebook(E4) London (I got referral from a connection). Is it possible to apply in companies in Europe from India and all the process completed in 1.5 months? How can I try, I don't get replies from recruiters on Linkedin. Which all companies are good in Europe which are not known to international community? I am holding other offers also but have chosen Microsoft because of brand name. #tech #microsoft #flipkart #london #berlin #ireland #sweden
You cannot complete the formalities in 1.5 months. Visa if required would alone take 20-60days
I have heard, untill visa is processed companies will hire and you have to work from your current country. Isn't it true?
Nope, i have seen that they process the Visa and it is expected that you would be relocating, post will you will start working. Atleast I have seen that is the case for Databricks, Facebook London.
Booking, Databricks, Amazon usually respond
Your MSFT offer is great! For Europe, in addition to what you have mentioned, you could try for Uber Amsterdam , Google Zurich
Try Delivery Hero in Berlin
Even if you get into facebook, u have to wait atleast 2-3 months . If you accept fb offer then you will either need to extend current notice period or choose to be unemployed till you relocate to london
Nope bro. I have been interviewing for 3 month in various companies in India. Didn't have much information about Europe. Now I have resigned also. Notice period is 1 month and I have asked Microsoft for 2 weeks break. I can choose to stay in Flipkart and start applying to companies in Europe but I will lose my Microsoft offer. Looks like I don't have many choices now.
You can easily study and keep applying in your 5 week span, even if you join msft, they're not gonna pile you up with work from day 1, keep applying even after you join, and make the transition to Europe post that. Kudos on your offer though, bro.
Were you an SDE 1 at Flipkart?
Why man? Does not look like
32 LPA for the new offer. SDE 2s at Flipkart already have similar base
You are gonna be disappointed by Europe salaries with the numbers you have in hand. Facebook and Amazon are your only hope.
Money is not a big concern for me now. I want explore Europe. For London area I am okay with $150k+ per annum.
150K? Are you a senior engineer? Only senior engineers get that much of pay
You can dm for Google. Both EU or in India.
DM just to get lowballed? No, thank you, kind sir π
I was actually rejected from Google, India. Can I still apply for Google EU?
try databricks
Sure, thanks
