Move to Europe

A few things to help understand if this is suitable for you: You have experience in Regulated industries/Legal Tech, Health Tech/Fintech etc. You are primarily a B2B PM. Have founder/GM background.

(Last time I posted my own job posting in this group, we ended up hiring one person who reached out after seeing the post. You never know)

I'm looking for a Sr. PM: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/justworks/jobs/7063576?gh_jid=7063576 (This position is for Toronto, Canada - but location may be negotiable for the right candidate). If we know each other, you can DM on Linkedin before applying: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sooraj-chandran/

If you have been here for a while, I’ve talked a lot about how you can reach out to founders/execs who just raised funding to pitch yourself and get a lot of opportunities. AI makes it easier to source these. You can run a deep research query, every couple weeks or so, to find out the fund raising news from around the world. Make it look at specific websites, type of companies, etc. Don’t sleep on deep research. You can even craft custom messages based on the company, founders history etc to stand out. This can work for relocation, but also for remote opportunities. A LOT of US companies, especially YC companies, are hiring remote engineers in India (just not visible enough). Give it a shot.

Here is a summary of comparison of life in Netherlands vs India from my POV: https://x.com/soorajchandran_/status/1912064472153260458

Wrote something about navigating career - especially the importance of writing - at the time of uncertainties: https://9to5exe.substack.com/p/18-writing-online-as-a-career-bet

Some notes on how my reasons have evolved a little, on why I moved to the Netherlands vs why I'm still there. Wanted to make it abundantly clear that reasons evolve with time. Maybe there are some things you can related to, or something similar you’d want from a relocation. Inspired by a few discussions I had recently. https://x.com/soorajchandran_/status/1853290783702765982

Hi folks, I wrote a guide a while ago with everything I know about moving to Europe (It may be a bit outdated now since the markets have changed, but many basics remain the same IMO). The guide is now "pay as you wish" - which means you can get it for $0. Here is the link: https://sooraj.gumroad.com/l/move-to-europe-guide I hope you found some value in it for people who already bought it. But to make up for the price change, I'm happy to have a 30-minute call with folks who already paid for it. Please email me hey@sooraj.io by mentioning you paid for the book in the title and I'll send you my calendar link. (I know there are many folks in this channel and sharing my email is probably not a good idea, so please use it responsibly).

Wrike has many openings across Europe. They have a team based in Bangalore as well. (They might be open to relocation). https://www.wrike.com/jobs/

Found this LinkedIn page that tracks fundraises in Europe: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adventureseu/

Haven't shared any job postings here in a while, primarily because the number of job postings I come across organically has drastically reduced. It's a tough time to be a job seeker. If you are one, wish you all the energy required to navigate the rough time.

Trying to get back to writing short newsletters related to remote work. If you are a remote job seeker, developing these skills might help you land a remote job. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hiring-right-people-remote-team-sooraj-chandran-vpszc

Important A friend of mine runs a Telegram channel focused on tech jobs offering visa/relocation assistance. Highly recommend to subscribe: 👉 https://t.me/relocateme Besides job opps in Europe, there are many posts with international job search tips, resume and interview preparation advice, relocation stories, and more. (Pretty sure the channel will be a lot more active and useful than this one, because he’s a pro in relocation related stuff).
