In this video I'm going to share four
different ways of
moving abroad to countries like USA and
European countries
to build a career in Data Science or
Software Engineering.
Tip number one is - To work in
a multinational company in your home
country
which has a headquarter or the office
in these countries that you want to move
to.
For example in India there are many
offices
that this product base or even other
companies have
which are based in US. So Amazon, Google,
Facebook - all these big companies have
offices in India. So one way is you get a
job
in the local office which is in India
Bangalore or Hyderabad wherever.
I know cracking interviews of
product-based companies
is difficult but you have to do hard
work you know
you don't get an opportunity to come to
foreign countries
without doing that much hard work. So
once you get a job there
you work there for some time, you prove
yourself,
you build connections and then you can
apply for
inter office transfer I used to work for
Nvidia 13 years back
and that was in Pune, India
and I know many people from Pune, India
office
took inter office transfer to California,
USA office.
Now everyone wants to move to
foreign country, most of the people atleast.
So it's not possible for the
company
to allow everyone to do inter office
transfer.
So it's a matter of luck as well as your
hard work and
what kind of networking you are doing.
See inter office
social networking is very very important
you need to build a good repo with the
people
or the managers who are working for a
foreign location and that way
you can apply for inter office transfer
and you have a higher chances of success.
Till date majority of the product-based
companies they are either in US and
Europe so when you come here and work in
foreign countries you get a good
exposure, you get to earn a lot of money
as well.
So there are a lot of benefits of moving
abroad. So working for MNC
and taking inter office transfer is
number one
way and this way is
very kind of safe and secure you know.
Number two is - You work for IT service
based companies such as Infosys
Cognizant
and then you work for clients which are
located
in these countries such as US and
European countries
and while you're working for these
clients
you might get an opportunity to visit
the client offices
for a short-term duration, maybe month or
maybe six months.
During that day time period again you
build a
good connection, good real repo with the
with the people here.
Now if you are let's say if Infosys is
doing a project
for Pfizer, Pfizer will not hire you
because they have an agreement within
forces that they cannot hire Infosys
resources
but while you are here you can explore,
you can build connection, you can apply
in the different companies here because
once you're physically here on let's say
H1 L1 whatever visa,
it becomes very easy for you to apply in
different companies
and then get a job and once you get a
job you can get your H1 transfered.
And that way I have been living in US
for 13 years now
and I know so many people, hundreds of
people who have done this.
They come through service-based company
here
and they find a permanent job here
and then
they end up staying here for a long
time period. Third way is - Studies.
You can come to US for Master's and after
Master's
you can get three year OPT during which
you don't have to worry about H1.
You know many people say, 'oh right now
Covid is going and
will we get H1?" Like don't think about
all of that because
three years you get an OPT, all you have
to do is
get a job and you can move, majority of
the people
end up getting their H1. You know it
takes efforts but
you will be all right. I made a
different video on just
this topic on Master's so link is in
video description below.
Check it out. So coming for Master's in
US
or even other countries such as Germany
'Bharat in Germany'
is a nice youtube channel which talks
about
if you want to migrate to Germany either
for studies or work, what are the steps
you need to take.
Germany has a free education so how you
can utilize that.
How you can build that career. All that
information is in
that channel. The channel name is 'Bharat in Germany'
video description below contains the link.
The fourth way
is Immigration. So let's say
for example, you want to move to Canada
okay. So Canada has
an immigration program called PNP -
Province Nominee Program. Canada, the
northern region has
a lot of states where there is not much
population
so Canadian government started this PNP
program so that
people can stay there and there is
economic development.
So again I know many people who have
come here
in Canada on PNP program
so that is definitely a good option.
Similarly,
Australia, New Zealand, different
countries have different type of
immigration programs you need to check
it with
local visa consultant. The other little
different way of coming to let's say US
is getting married to a person. I'm from
Gujarat state in
in India and I've seen many people who
get married to a foreign national
let's say US citizen and they come here.
Now that is very easy like you may
get married to US citizen and you come
here you get your green card immediately.
But in order to build a career of course
you should not
compromise on your social front. So make
sure you take
that decision in an informed way. In the
video description below
I have given information on PNP program
which is Canada
immigration program it takes around 18
months to come here.
So there is a link in the video
description below check it out. There is
another link where
a person has mentioned his experience on
how he came
to Canada and build a career in data
science.
So check that link as well and I hope
you find this video useful. There
used to be fifth way which is
there are some consulting companies in
US who used to file
H1 directly. So from India you can come
to US directly
but that way is kind of not working
right now there are still few companies
and few people get lucky. So if you have
any contacts of
consulting companies in US
you can even try that you know
probability of
making that successful is low but still
there are few people who come through
that
way. So try out all these options.
Foreign countries
when you come here you get an
opportunity to earn a lot of money,
to get exposure working in a different
environment,
working for big product based companies.
So there are many benefits
of moving abroad for the job but ofcourse
along with the benefits there are
downsides as well so you need to be
mindful about that, you need to be
mindful about the social consequences,
you know let's say you are the only
child of your parents
and if you come here, it kind of becomes
tricky you know there is a social
challenge associated with it.
So consider all that factors and make an
informed decision.
I hope you like this video. If you do,
give it a thumbs up and share it with
your friends
who want to build a career in Data
Science or Software Engineering
in foreign countries.
