40-Year-Old Banking Professional Seeks Relocation: Where's the Best Fit?

Ans: Hi, I feel India is the biggest market even for western product companies.My recommendation is that if you are happy with the current job, your company has a good culture, you are respected and made a place for yourself, do not uproot yourself and look for 'so called greener pastures' abroad. Most countries are becoming more and more stringent, US especially, Europe is having big problems because of Ukraine war. This is the golden period of India. Please stick here and move vertically upwards. The GEopolitics is fluid and unpredictible so your own nation is the safest. This is a truthful situation and I don't want to mislead you. Hope you understand.

Ans: Based on your profession, experience, and salary, you have several options to consider for permanent residency. Here are some countries that are popular among software consultants:

Canada: Canada is a great destination for software consultants as it offers a dynamic workforce, high safety, and world-class free public healthcare. The country’s average pay grade or rather median salary for software developers is also quite remarkable. You can apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry program1.

USA: The US is a dreamland for technologists from across the world. The country attracts students, techies, innovators, entrepreneurs, and business leaders from across the globe. US-based companies are always one step ahead in hiring talented tech professionals from every country. To work in the US, you will need the H-1B visa, which is in high demand right now as the restrictions have been lifted by the US government2.

Japan: Japan has been instrumental in the growth of the global tech industry for more than 6 decades. It is considered one of the wealthiest nations across the globe. Techies from mechanical, chemical, data, electrical, chemical, AI domains can find plenty of high-paying jobs in Japan. So, if you are a software professional from India, Japan can be a great place for you to work2.

Switzerland: Switzerland is known for its high standard of living, excellent healthcare, and education systems. The country has a thriving economy and is home to many multinational companies. The Swiss government offers a range of visa options for skilled workers, including the EU Blue Card2.

Germany: Germany is a great destination for software consultants as it offers a dynamic workforce, high safety, and world-class free public healthcare. The country’s average pay grade or rather median salary for software developers is also quite remarkable. You can apply for permanent residency through the EU Blue Card2.

Ans: Sarbhjeet Sir, I hope you are still working for your present company. It's preferable to keep on with your current work till you land another one. If you would want to work overseas, here are possible actions/choices: (1) Using Job Alerts on LinkedIn allows you to try. Shortlist some preferred countries and try (2) Better to approach 3-4 Govt. APPROVED Overseas Job Consultants who would be able to assist you in discovering out choices. Take care, though, with overseas job scams. (3) Please be aware of the current Wars (Russia-Ukraine & Also Middle-East) should you decide on any one of the Gulf Countries. Two calm Gulf Countries you can try are UAE and Oman. (4) Have Plan B also by aiming for a better career in India itself either through LinkedIn or some other credible sources. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future, Sir.
