Motivation for relocate

  • Wanted to join an international company.

  • Tech jobs are drying up in Bangladesh.

Experiences

At the time I moved to Amsterdam, I had 5 years of industry experience.

How did I Start looking abroad jobs

Started looking into all the job boards, picking the right one and apply.

Relocating

  • Company handled everything which includes visa/work permit and 1 month accommodation.

  • Papers I needed:

    • Passports.

    • Marriage certificate, translated and notarized since it was in Bangla.

    • Birth Certificates (both my wife and I), need to be translated and notarized too.

  • Carry papers when you fly:

    • Offer latter.

    • Health insurance.

    • Accommodation confirmation paper.

  • Bring all the certificates.

  • Previous job’s offer latter and experience latter.

  • Always ask the HR / contact in the company which paper to bring. If are just applying, you may prepare papers like translated and notarized documents.

Tips or Guidance for others

  • Talk with someone friendly who been though the process.

  • Interview invite is tough:

    • Don’t blindly apply. Search for the company online. Glassdoor, LinkedIn and company website might be helpful.

    • Modify your CV according to the information you got in the last step. Read the job post multiple times, check what they want.

    • Add personal projects, try to build something cool.

  • When applying jobs:

    • Try to send the application as an email.

    • Don’t send generic email to all. Write something that people might get interested.

  • Homework or assignment:

    • Company might ask you to do a homework to check your skill.

    • Do it in a way you know best.

    • Show your code to someone who might be better than you.

  • Interview:

    • Read interview tips online.

    • I went though lots of interviews, the more you do, the more you get better.

    • Do mock interview with friends.

    • Work on you communication skill aka English conversation.

    • Make sure you got good internet connection.

    • Make sure room is quite and has enough light. Ceiling fan create tons of noise.

    • Try to make a conversation rather answering the question interviewer ask. Joke around.
