Returning to India — Navigating the Job Search

Thinking about moving back to India and unsure how the job market actually works here? I've made the exact move you're considering, from the US back to India, and now work as a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS in Delhi. In this session, I'll help you navigate the job search with a realistic, insider view.

With 18+ years across the US and India, including 14 years at product companies (AWS, Informatica), I understand both markets firsthand and the gap between what NRIs expect and how hiring actually works back home.

In this call, I'll help you with:

• How the Indian job market differs from the US, and what that means for your search strategy
• Realistic compensation expectations and how to benchmark roles (especially senior/leadership)
• Which companies value global experience and how to position your overseas background as an advantage
• Where to focus your search: GCCs, product companies, startups or global firms with India offices
• Timing your move, networking effectively and avoiding common mistakes returning professionals make

Whether you're early in planning or already have a timeline, you'll leave with a clear, practical roadmap tailored to your experience and target roles.
