So a couple of weeks back I responded on some thread regarding my journey of finding Product Jobs outside of India. I come from a non IIT background, didn’t have an MBA, but built products because I genuinely enjoyed the craft. And that journey led me to find Product roles in India , Singapore and Europe and also in the process had some offers from UAE, Indonesia,etc.

I got a flurry of dms in my inbox, and have been speaking to a few folks from here. And it has been a fun journey talking to some of you.

I’m opening up some slots on my calendar to talk to few more of you folks who are looking to do this transition.

I firmly believe in the concept of pay it forward, and run these sessions on a donation basis where all the donations are donated to animal welfare organisations that I work with, under the belief that we create a positive loop in the world where I could help some people but also the contributions help create a better for the more needy.

So if you’re someone trying to take a stab at finding your next gig outside of India, feel free to hit me up.

So life has thrown a wrench, got laid off from work but have 6 months of severance pay incoming, and my housing contract in Germany runs off in June.

So instead of doing my job applications from Germany, I’m thinking of doing it from Thailand instead. I’m hoping to spend between 1-2 months and I’m planning to keep 1-2 base during this time. I’ve been to Thailand 5-6 times before as I lived in Singapore in the past.

But this time around, I want to take my time and actually learn something while I’m there so that I have some engagement and keeps me busy through the day. I would love to stay in a nicer apartment, with work desk and possibly access to a gym.

I’m open to suggestions in terms of :

1. What kind of long term activities I could consider during the time I spend there. I was curious about cooking courses, something more long term or even Scuba diving (Not sure if the weather would support it)

2. Given the weather during this time, what should be my ideal bases keeping in mind the activities that I would want to do.
