Senior Software Engineer Working as MERN Stack Developer in Saudi Arabia | How to Find a Job in KSA

Software Development Field is that you don't have to go to continuous to update it. On average, a recruiter takes 20-25 seconds to look at a CV. He has to judge if I have to look at his resume or not. What we do wrong is our 5-6 years of experience. The first section we'll write is my contact information, My email is this, my home address is this, my manager status is this, My ID card number, brother ID card number from anyone, Your gender, two-two emails, two-two cell numbers, Saudi number also has given, Pakistan number has given, do not do this brother. It's our very big mistake that we use React.js so we come up with, JavaScript doesn't come to us, although it's the same under the hood. So we don't know what the functionality is inside, below, So we're good, who are interviews of big company, We can't crack it unfortunately. If you talk specifically about IT, about software programming, software engineering, CS, So then the industry doesn't matter so much, Your personal skills and your learning ability matter. Astanam but Mirzani in a time again in your Khisound. Basically, there were quite a few more queries coming in, Munstack related developers, That means how much scope is there for Munstack, So, finally, Ansar Bhai is with us, How is Ansar Bhai? The funniest thing is, Their experience is more than 11 years ago, And their more than experience, has been in multinational companies, And apart from them, They have gained much more experience, You are better than me, Working in a very good company and a big organization, So, thank you so much for your time, And let's start with, How did your career start? And where are you from? Other Those who live in Lahore know about this Pakistani. I've been with him for two and a half years. When they're coming to take the pie, When his boss has to go into the industry, So I knew what he needed, What's going on in these lates trends, What's going on in the market, Which technology is going to be the most in demand, How are you treating yourself, So come after him, so in a different company, Taking different exposures, I filed nine in Saudi, And here I am working on the V book, We're booking a little something I'm gonna cry about, You have as many vents in Saudi Arabia as you have, Whether it is in Ra'ad, in Jaddad, As much as you've booked Vents, She's the thur of your V book, So there's a racing season, you know about that, Boulevard World is the city. Then your Vifa's fourth club was the world's ground in Jadha That too Vibuk had manished After that your formula one race is in Jadhav She also booked a book. So as many tennis tournaments as there are, football matches are And here on the other side you go The entertainment goes to the spit of the bug. So I'm doing a web for his part team. And I'm going to print-and-web for the team so I can make the permeable forest's surface look very much like a permeable forest. It's too much. Not that she does university because I know people I won't name any university that I've been a little bit I understand on an unstable level, it will be a little insoluble. But who sold our little low-level investments There are many in Lahore too so university like also graduation by Very good post people are sitting in But whoever our top-ranking unrestricted are, I can name them as happy. Like is the food, like is the lamb, like is the fish, like is the fish. So even in those unvestries if you didn't learn that way, If you don't understand C, learn, then you have to go ahead and stalk, But if you're being watched with a dick, You also gave lectures in Giki, you also gave in Lams, you also gave it in Punjab, Don't you think that the menus are a little different from the scudens? Her grooming level is telling you. When I go to a level it's a little bit in UCP it's in UMT it's in University of Lahore it's four universities which I understand are on a level. I'll go in and if I go to give a lecture to some child of LUMPS I'll go in here fast then I will definitely feel the difference. I'll tell you about when I graduated in 2011, I literally didn't know what I was going to do now. I don't know what I'm doing. But when he goes into the lumps, he is not very clear in this concept that next who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company, who is a big company. And I'm going to be doing a job in the next day at a company in the Philippines, so basically this difference is your grooming, your personality grooming and your industry's knowledge of where you have to go tomorrow. A top industry kid, even today would not tell this to the news in Pakistan, I'm going to do it. Go get some sleep. And I've been doing my job in the same way. So, to serve in Pakistan or in the world, say, What do you know? The thing is that even in Pakistan, the parasites of the Saufwar come from where? What's in the market is US. Come from the US, come from Europe, come from Canada Because now in Saudi we are sitting So Saudi Vision 2030 is very much a project Albert Schopfier is changing. When he speaks in the Which has been happening in the past From Dubai, from Saudi Arabia. So you have to serve in Pakistan It's a survivalist anywhere. I understand that it's not so different Also, Angular is also, NodeJS is, NestJS, ExpressJS, there are a lot of things you know. There are still many other things, good good come, good are. So I understand that if there is a software engineer who can help the future, So it's all about data science, machine learning. Either he can go towards JavaScript, JavaScript concepts, not React concepts. Our very big mistake is that we come in React Chesto, not JavaScript, Although he's under the hood, so we don't know when inside, below the functionality, So we have good interviews with big companies, that we can't crack, unfortunately. We'll go like Python, because the machine learning, data science algorithms are as strong as they are, So there is no other technology that supports this. So I would go with these two technologies. How did you get to Bahrain? That's what Bahrain was, I was doing a job, there's me a HR on LinkedIn, That company I went to, that recruiter reached out, That he's the one who's gonna pretend that you're a world doer, but that's what you were, You'll be upstaged, I'll be upstaged, an international exhibitor had his own one, I won't go so far as to say that what you're doing now is an international exposé, Even if you are good, there is no international competition. You're a little too busy to play. So the boss has to be able to send something to them without being monitored. Then they have a process of knowledge. He had seen the sign. I did that first summit, then they had a technical manager, he had a technical interview, About an hour and fifty minutes, just these two steps, after that they send me the offer and I move to Bahrain. Okay, that's great. What's in your LinkedIn profile, does that mean that Recoverable Agencies approach you? Man, this is just the way that you keep yourself updated, this is what's serious, And to yourself who looks, he sells, the serious thing is. If your profile is as strong as your profile, as strong as your walls are, Resource, in any field, it's not about the development, you're business professional, you're sales person, If you don't show yourself, if you don't know what I am, So no one will reach out to you, or no one will reach out to your opportunities. I'm going to miss you, so brother this is one so I keep doing courses someone online, And whatever you do with ed, whatever is available online, you post it on LinkedIn, Because I've done this thing, I've talked to him that my open source contribution is quite high, I do whatever no one else does, when I have a little too much time over here over the weekend, I upload it to GitHub, and then I post it on LinkedIn. That guy I, for example, I made a machine learning algorithm, Or I've worked on someone for facial recognition, which AI technology, And for people it will be beneficial, this work I do, and the second is that someone, I often post on LinkedIn, reach out to people, I interact with people, comment on their posts, like, So there are just things that you have to show yourself, show yourself, I'm still after the witch who looks like she's gonna die. For this, my game show should be done only on LinkedIn, not in other platforms. No, I'm not showing off just that you don't understand, you're not being that far away, do that. Of course, what you have learned, what you have experienced, keep it, keep my day, keep the reality, Because if you speak bad, do wrong, then the douter will reach out to you, and that thing you will not, you will lag him, so that's a red signal, you can block him, it's for you, meaning he will appear in the wrong red disk, so don't do it. Saudiya was also coming, was working with a company in Pakistan as an associate software architect job, so there pe main responsibilities of mine was this of ensuring best practices, code reviews, client communication all who were European American clients, with them main communication I used to do, udai you were involved in sailing I, so pakistani recruiter again reached out to me, we are looking for someone who has vast experience as a full Stack developer, both in front-end as well as angular and our text stack is also all in JavaScript itself, if you are interested so, I said yes okay why not, so Saudi's so I'm like this time I read you 2030 vision projects, their work is very much here on work, every band not only from Pakistan, but from India, from Europe even, from America, a lot of people come here on There was a single interview, about 50 minutes, after that there was an assignment, which I had to submit in three days, again, on top of my text stack, JavaScript, I used Next JS, I used GraphQL, back-end on Nest JS, which is a Node.js framework, I used it, Database I used PostgreSQL, I was looking at text stack, so on that assignment I got submitted in two days. So I had an interview with a director of engineering, and I had an offer to do five years' work. But the next thing you know, the process of living in Paksan, they're gonna bring two to three men. So, fortuitously, four thare four moms got her company and they just withdrew her. She has this same view that her company is doing so much betting. Your boss is coming to the company now. Bas better than better resource is mine option so one so that your yours Experience will never compromise your skill set There is no intercessor, and the other is that the refuge is only with Allah. Can be that brother job so got now who Pakistan is in process of making it so that I can be fast. Reach out who can help if you speak of experience And if you are a fool, Let's compare Pakistan's technology And what is the culture of the office in both of them? I'll tell you what I'll do. If you're still in Saudi, you'll see. Which is the enterprise level stuff here. Saudi i.e. they have hospital systems There are school management systems that probably still exist. Which is neither dotnet nor Java. So now he probably won 't be so uncomfortable with them Java Step or Ebon PHP Larval or whatever new Frenchbox technologies are Because they are so old and at that level That they tease you even rate seems that guy that So I think there's a difference in this. But now in Saudi much culture has changed That is, here too, there is a technology of repeated duplication. Java is step, Python is and cloud is here on very permanent work Ali Baba Cloud has just opened an office in his memory It's still a gp which is Google Cloud platform. There are Saudi own repeat technology of double-flipping Yeah, that's still being worked on. Which I think is alone 4-5-6 years later Baby will be out of breath after 10 years Not so many people will use it. But in Pakistan, the rest of the lettuce technology also works. Talk about the other Saudi. So their old systems are also on dotnet Java But that's the new repeat duplicity. So they are seen so they are doing well For your people Their people must work hard. And I'm so very much young I work with Saudis with boys and girls That the Saudi government has With Saudi government I'll give you a Saudi badge Here you appear to be the Saudi Consul's orcishin not to meet When you don't get to meet a technician, When you get to work, you'll be on his payroll. That means you can't call your family. It's a very, very complex thing, so I want to tell this to the videographers. Keep this in mind, come to Saudi Arabia and keep it in mind. Sorry, going back to your original question. You're brave that if you mean that technically Pete's if... Yes, I'm sure that the Saudi Consulate will not reinstate you for less than five years. And if the Saudi consul doesn't, then you'll have engineers who have my visa, This is a job you can't find here. Okay, that's great. It's great for me too... Sorry, what was your console? Well, experience means that we talk then talk about salary. If we talk about 5-6 years, then it has multiple factors, How much salary can be obtained, there are multiple factors, That's it, I'll tell you all about it. So how's your overall exposure, What projects have you been working on, number one. The second thing is how much your international exposure experience is, It's Middle East, it's Belfast, or it's Europe, This thing matters a lot. And third, after that comes this thing, If the company is very large, Like there's no very enterprise level, STC, for example, the Saudi telecom company, They'll go in there and they'll have a lot of packages, There are perks, there are benefits. And the sixth thing is yours, which is, it depends, Your own personal negotiation skills. If you're talking to this, Take it or leave it. I'll take more than that already, So my experience, my skill set, which is, That's more than I deserve, You can negotiate, right? I know you range, for a 5-6 year old boy, You can take anything between 10k and 25k, Between 10,000 and 25,000 rials, Wherever you negotiate, Right now you're living with your family, So what's the process, can you tell me a little bit? In Pakistan, it's not taken seriously. I would like to tell everyone that Here the probationary period is taken very seriously, And that's a lot of performance. are evaluating your overall personality, Then you have to work with different multinationals, It's all things that are a lot of evaluate, After that, they decide, Well, you perform well, After that you get a job within 3 months, After that there are different processes, You can talk to Nikan Nama, wife, Nikan Nama, you have children, Birth certificate, they all first Pakistani You must be tested for free, then after that An initial visa will be issued from here first, So it's kind of extensive documentation which may take up to 1-2 months, And then it's an option to work out, The other option is that which is a little bit The truth is easy, It's also comparatively cheaper, because if you call Your family on Nikama, you have to pay 400 Riyals a month for each dependent, you know, But it's a little bit uncomfortable and There's also a year-old Visitor visa on you force, that's a multiple entry visa, He's also your employer, Whoever your company is, you tell them that I forced my wife, my parents, They're 35 rials from here, their fees are, They pay you, then a letter comes out, Visa, he then goes to Pakistan, Go there, he's from your Saudi embassy. The test is done, within 2-3 weeks, So your visa comes out, and your Your family is parents, your wife is, but in her There's just one catch, that's that Every 90 days, exit re-entry has to be made Saudi, that's one time Saudi. The inside of the bat gets wet, but after that You have to go out of Saudi Arabia, not necessarily That you go to Pakistan, you can go out, from here The Saudis have to exit, exit re-entry take And today, after every 90 days There are two ways to do this, I understand. It's relatively easy to raise a family. That's the best job. You are, they tell me, they have A community has been created in which they You explain a little bit For every human being, something is valid. It is applicable, that if you Allah like newborn I'm as sure as that Most being a Muslim me It's in the country where I live. I can go to Mecca, Medina, Umre So if Allah has given me birth So why not contribute back and give back to the society I did it again for him. So I'm very active on LinkedIn Who in my swimwear have 14-15 Atharfolvers Not much, people so 50 Athar followvers by So I need to do something for them on LinkedIn I keep posting. The Commission has also been consulted on the How are you? So I have a habit People who do interviews, in my company Who are the leads, my friend, dude? So if someone does the interview So I go to them and ask them That you have selected someone So what criteria have you done, what basis What did you see in your CV, in your interview? What did you ask, not on Exact Questions And if you're failing someone Immediate rejection is, looking at someone's resume Looking at her profile, what weight is she, what weight is she on? So all those things I did on Lingdin I keep posting Time and Angen Second I have created a public channel of WhatsApp Almost all the fibones I made before Now the poor man has three and a half backs. Different, 70% of it is from Pakistan, the other 30% India is also, Bar is also, Saudi is also, So is also So all this information that I'm getting in real time, its description is right here. That brother is not a job group, you don't do this to me. That Saudi, fruit company has a job, I'll post on it, no No, I'm just looking for examples of my real life, here. I understand that you need practical things, in Saudi So this is the public graph, which I have about three saba three from followwords, so it's two things I don't think I'm very active on social media, I don't like Facebook, So I'm giving it a good discount time on Lingding, which I give on the day. Average one and a half hours, one hour. I think I'm giving it to Lingding, on that I'm posting normal things, so First thing, and she doesn't bother, a tip, I mean, I'd like to give you, I'm not saying that, but I'm not saying that. Or tips that is that the sex is a long time, the ATS is friendly, I, I, my who the past 5-6 years people has not, in it big activity I am doing the hood interviews, She has to go through the machine, the format of which is not available, the reservation on the table, the story of the final, So much more solid experience, so much more fun experience, if your AT Strength Leaks resume is not, it means that he did not reach the real Otto, number one, second time it is that on the de Everys on a CV Your recruiter is not there, he takes 20-25 seconds just, in that he has to judge I have to see what we do wrong, what we do wrong, our The first time we wrote, my contact information, my email is this, my My address is here, my manager status, my ID card number, brother, Anybody with ID card number, your gender, two or two emails, Two-two cell number, Saudi number also has, Patson number has, do not do this brother, Basic, your contact information, email, your name, cell number, Put a link, then what you have to show on your CV, Mostly modally they are your projects, what things you have worked on, brother, if any, I've worked at Kareen, I've worked at Saudi Airlines, I've worked at IT, That section I went to on the third page of your told, so dude that recruiter so If it doesn't reach the bottom in 20-25 seconds, what bullshit is written, I answer every question, I answer in the morning, one day, two days late, She's probably not answering, but I'll make sure. I'm looking for an opportunity in Saudi Arabia, so I need your help and guidance and... She gave me her resume, location, Riyadh, Saudi number, and a number with a black slash. So I reached out to him, I said, I gave him a couple of tips that dude this is the one with the colorful themes, don't, take them out, So I said, yours, I have location in whole resume so Riyadh, but no Saudi project, Saudi experience is not visible, what scene is? No, he came to you last time I was Saudi, I changed my location to Saudi on LinkedIn. I mean, I said, dude, you're not in Saudi Arabia, no, well, you haven't worked with any Saudi company, no, then why is your location Riyadh on LinkedIn? So I did this to get in the eyes of recruiters, brother, now what impact will it have? Okay, you will come in the eyes of Saudi recruiters, OK, g, Banda Riyadh is written, on the CV on building dean there is also Saudi number, now recruiter reach out to you? Here he will put you on his list that again that company you will not be able to apply to, It's a lot of people make our mistake, it shouldn't, truth be told, you should tell the recruiter openly I'm not in Saudi Arabia, but I'm open to relocation. So, there are other tips that you should avoid using colorful formats, ATS trendy formats and so on. He can speak as true as he can. He can project his projects more. And one thing that I and Node did, that we have a lot of software projects, People have actually put links, That if the recruiter clicks on the link, then in his boss' browser that link opens and he can see, What project has it worked on, So we have the URLs of the staging server or test server, That the staging server, he opened the link, The staging of the dot fruit on the browser is A, B, C, X, Y, Z. Now that recruiter is saying that dude, It's not that important to pay attention to details. This kind of harking is not what you do, Or, see, if the recruiter is looking at your CV, In Saudi or any competitive market, So that once in a lifetime scene is that, The company that HRN has to see a case, If you hit a blender like that by mistake, So there's a very, very likely chance that he'll come back to you, So the recruiter won't, he saw you put on some list, That when your email goes there, Or your CV will go through it, So further out there will be no filter, There are such scars, That who should have a little benefit, Now what do you say, The CV version 1 and the CV version 2 CV version 2 point is not, Or come on, how can you do this, This is how you do it, don't do it, Then another fifth, the chata point, I'd like to make another one, They take advantage of this opportunity, That I'm talking to you, These guys who have e-mails like this, Daddy's angel, and Shidada, And the smoker, the Ranja smoker and the fruit, E-mail, please avoid it. Professional, you have your own time, What do they say, in childhood, Now, brother, the one with the letters, And who have professional e-mail addresses, Make that e-mail address, So if people reach out to you, So let's write them, Daddy's angel, and Ranja Smoker, They're laughing, Or they don't reject you at this place, And bring a little professional spirit, For everything, A company needs a front-end developer, Which, for example, Angular should, You reacted to it, Angular is also a little bit, You've got your full stack, one stack of thake beze, And there is none to compare it with. Brother how to call you, will not come, so make a different version, specialised version, Work on your profile, 80s and above these things, Only then can you expect an interview call from the company. So far as I have spoken, There were all pros, So that you can see the red, Tell me about the cones? Dude, cones is that, Work-life balance is not so ideal, to be honest, As in Europe, But, if you want, after working hours, If you have a recruiter, does not reach out, Normally if you do too, So you, You are authorized not to answer him, But that's not the case in South India, Especially, So this is what if you, Such a situation can come, I'm in the V book, So there's any production bug, If it has come, What do you want from our application, Millions of users say that, The production bug has arrived, So that's fried, It's set, It's two o'clock in the morning, It's three o'clock, You have to work on that, You have to fix that. You may have to work a little extra hours, You may have to work on weekends, By law, anything, What is the law here, to recruiters, Your managers here are using this thing does not forbid, She'll call you after work hours, You can't reach out here on weekends, So that's the only thing I understand about, Breaking the work-life balance is not so ideal, You have to work some overtime, and over the weekends as well, you know. Can you tell me living expenses? Or, living expenses depend on your lifestyle. With family? Well, with family it is, Two-level apartments are found, So one, So hotels are very expensive, So you can't do that, If you are looking to live here for a longer period of time, You should go for some apartment. In that case, There are two-tier apartments, One furnished and one unfurnished. If you're furnished, unfurnished, both rates is different, If unfurnished in will go, It means you have to fill all the furniture on your own. You can also get new furniture in it, I understand that, The day of the thousand-year reign of Darmiar, A suitable, Not in a very lush-mush area, In a suitable area, The two thousand riyals of the day, You get the apartment. But if you're going to some furnished apartment, Then again, There's also a difference, If you have a wife and kids, for example, So you need two beds, If your parents also come with you, You need a three-bed apartment, if you live alone, then you can go for shared accommodation, There are no children here, So in a BHK, You can go to a bedroom, That's what counts, too. But with a family, Mine is in it, If you go to the furnished, So you keep in mind, In 2,500-4,500 riyals, You will go every month, And you have a shish and I'll tell you, The contract here is for one year, But you have to pay for 6 months upfront, You have to pay the hard six months, Very well, you will be fine. It's a very broadcast, And my last one is the first podcast, which is in the Marim, In which you have a key description, And you're going to be a senior software engineer, And ashamed as I am to mention them on LinkedIn, Even in the top Kement, It will appear both in the top document and in the description, The benefits of the WhatsApp community which is linked to the channel, She will also make you parasite me, I'll come and do it too. As much as we can contribute, As they have said, That means that or dude has got so much experience, So much time has passed, So somehow we can contribute, The thought, Filkur is like this, So they tried to start, To you, to ask, to ask, Not much for you, Kanky. Peace be upon him,
