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.

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.

I am 33 old female IT engg. I started preparing for govt exam right after graduation but didn't able to clear single one. During this course, also i got married but now i want to start a career but i am clueless which field i should start because of such huge gap. Please guide me

Ans: First be familiar with the changes which crept into the IT industry during the time of your gap, otherwise you will not be able to maintain the present pace. Secondly stop searching for govt. jobs. IT future lies in private only. One very good suggestion is there. Pursue 2 years online MBA in IT. It will cover many things which are presently in the market. Have 1/2 certificate course of AI & Machine Learning immediately and start applying for new jobs. I guarantee you will get good placement.

My daughter is going to be graduated by next year in Electronic and communication engineering (ECE). Is there any good opportunity for job or should she continue her higher study? We are in a great confusion seeing this day by day fall down of job opportunity. Please help.

Ans: If the financial condition permits let her go for MS from a reputed university of USA. She needs good GRE SCORE, TOEFL score around 105-110, three good recommendations from her professor, a sloid SOP (statement of purpose) and approximately a funding between 80 lakhs to 1 crore. Don't lose hope and never discuss negative things in front of your daughter, it will affect her mental set up and enhance her anxiety. Everything will be OK. Just be in touch with me.

Hi sir, This is Naresh. I'm completed my diploma in civil engineering in 2016. After that I started my career as a structural cad engineer. Since 7 years I'm working as a professional engineer. I'm married. But actual my goal is in want become a structural design engineer. I stuck in my career. My salary also not growing as per the market. How can I get my degree in civil engineering field. And also I'm unable to quite my job. I want to grow in my career.Please guide me

Ans: Unless you go for BE (Civil) and M.Tech Structures you can't be an officially recognized Structural Engineer. But the present condition won't allow you to do BE (Civil) and M.Tech (Structures) by leaving you job and you are married too. So I would suggest you to appear for the AMIE exam. It is hard, but at least the scope is there. After completing AMIE you will be equivalent to BE ( Civil). After that even if you don't go for M.Tech it will not create any problem. Because AMIE with such a big experience will help you to stand as a sound structural engineer in the market. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. GOD BLESS YOU.

If i am studing diploma in civil engineering after that can i do B.Tech in Computer science

Ans: You can do, but for that again you have to do a diploma in Computer Science. You can't go directly from Civil to Computer in India. Otherwise you have to clear 11th and 12th Science (I am assuming you joined diploma after Xth Standard) and take fresh admission in Computer Science. But it will be a great loss of time. The best way is to do online BBA. It will give you graduation ( though for BBA 12th pass is essential) and after BBA you can do some good certificate course from institute like INTELLIPAAT which gives standard certificate in Data Science and Machine Learning (a need of the day) in Collaboration with IIT- Chennai/IIT- Roorkee. It will create a path for you to go in the stream of computer science. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...........................:)
