Career
Hi there - I am 45 and live overseas and am a foreign citizen and OCI. I am contemplating moving back to India due to family issues. As such, I will be unable to travel to work for at least 6 months to a year due to family issues and time to settle back. As I am in IT, and away from India since the last 15 years, I am not sure how to look for remote work? The ones I see on LinkedIn or other job sites offering remote work seem to be tailored to those moonlighting (as told me me by a recruiter) and offer very less. I work remotely aboard and have never had issues. I am wondering if there are any companies that offer remote work? I have high end skills, work as a solution architect in SAP and Microsoft Stack. To me it seems like high end tech skills have no takers in India as most of the work available in India seems to be low end tech or tailored as a cost center. I do not have management experience. However, I would be happy to be wrong. Appreciate your advise as I am unsure how the job market works in India.
Ans: If I hear you right, you plan to move to India and for the first 6 months you will need work from a remote location. It will be best for you to start application and interview process and get selected. Once you get selected for a job of your choice then propose to the employers if you can work remotely for some months to settle family issues. If they say no, ask them if you can join 6 months later. It is a process that you have to repeat. By an large there are few WFH job offers that were offered during pandemic.
