Portfolio, presence, and pipeline tips that work in India today.
Be findable
A clean LinkedIn headline, a public GitHub or portfolio, and 2–3 short write-ups of work you've shipped beat any cold-application strategy. Remote hiring managers screen for evidence they can verify in under 5 minutes.
Fix the async basics
Reliable internet, a quiet room for calls, a working webcam and mic, and a timezone-aware calendar. List your working hours in IST and your overlap window with US/EU on your profile.
Pipeline
Apply to 10–15 remote-first companies a week with a tailored note, not 100 cold applications. Track which JD keywords showed up in callbacks and tune your resume monthly.
