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.

I am a MBA healthcare management with BSc in Medical and 6 months experience of renowned hospital in Quality & Medical Administration. My family situations and my own priorities doesn't allow on site work. Thus seeking remote opportunities. Interested in Mental Health or Insurance or Animal Welfare industry. Which companies to seek and how?. Already tried remote websites

Ans: I understand you are looking for a work from home opportunity.

The rest rest family situation and your priorities are always secondary, the employer's needs are paramount.
If you come with a demand note, then be ready to make career and salary compromises.
I am also not encouraging you to do so, because you are undervaluing yourself..!

The companies you must seek employment are the one's that are commensurate with your qualifications and the companies job description.
!
See... I'm right, you have already tried remote jobs but aren't being considered for the opportunity.

Advice : wake up and don't become obsolete

I am a graduate with Bachelors of Commerce in Accounting 2018 batch I have total 2.5 years of full time experience. I don't know what to do which job to flow or how to pursue. I am very much confused i kindly request you to please help me. Please sir I don't have any options please help me to get a job n what to pursue. Thanks and Regards

Ans: Two and a half years of experience is an excellent start. You can use LinkedIn to apply for jobs. Set up job alerts according to your preferred area and experience. Continue applying to jobs that fit your profile on LinkedIn as soon as you receive notifications. If there aren't many work prospects where you are, try to leave if the situation calls for it. In order to stay competitive in the job market, it is also advisable to enroll in any correspondence course offered by a reputable university for an MBA in finance or an MCom, as well as to pursue online courses relevant to your field. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.
