Thanks for your suggestion! I haven't looked into non-US countries yet, but that is a helpful pointer given India is the most populous country in the world now. I will keep this in mind. Are you based in India? How is the remote landscape there?

Yes I am an Indian and based in India. Everyone loves remote work here though ppl go to offices also but we are extremely family oriented ppl and tied to our ancestral properties. So remote is awesome. I have even more suggestions that for 2 months you can offer your services as an introductory offer at 1000 rupees and then after two months when enough ppl have joined you can switch it up to 20k rupees especially for the 0-2 years experience bracket because lots of computer science students looking for placements. Just please include more n more companies for that bracket.
Or maybe you should build it you seem to know the India market well.
Thanx. I am thinking on that since the original author has US as the goal.
Thanks, this is very helpful context. Totally agree that remote is awesome for folks who like to spend more time with family. Are there any other job sites or tools that you have used for job search or you mainly have to look at each company's career page?
More and more US companies are expanding globally to places like India, Canada and Europe, so there will be more opportunities oversea.
I have personally used LinkedIn and naukri.com but linked serves too much job spam. I'm applying to same companies again n again and no way to remove the job postings i don't like. Linkdin is a job spammer i feel. Naukri.com I haven't used for ages. I like your job aggregator because I can go to each company through your portal and then keep track where all I have applied to. Just don't become a job spammer. Be you. I'm an online tutor looking to transition to SWE or maybe getting more tutoring roles and I see urbanpro.com which is a student aggregator for tutors offers their services at 10k rupees that's why I feel that 20k rupees anyone can give if you only offer more n more companies willing to pay in rupees and 0-2 years of experience.
I have sent your aggregator to one SWE friend who has recently gotten a job and always seeks remote work. He said he feels underqualified for all the job postings. So if you can include jobs that don't have such daunting expectations then you can mint a lot of money in India
Thanks for sharing your insights on what you like and don't like about these job boards. Sorry to hear about the frustrations you have to go through. I wish you best of luck and hope you will land your dream position soon.
In the US, some companies (e.g. Pinterest, Dropbox) offer apprentice programs for folks looking to break into tech from non-tech background, not sure if there are equivalents in India. While I can't speak to the situation in India, in the US at least, for folks don't have much SWE job experience, they can also gain experiences via side projects or unpaid internship in smaller company and use it as a stepping stone to build their resume and increase their odds on landing a paid role.
Thank you for the US perspective you showed
what's the stripe equivalent in India
