US to India Career Transition

Returning to India after studying or working in the US is exciting, but the job market here plays by different rules. Titles, salary structures, interview styles, and company culture are all different, and it can feel like starting over.

I've been through this exact transition recently, MS from the US, returned to India, and landed a Data Engineer role at a top firm in Hyderabad. I know what works and what doesn't.
