Job news, salaries and where the work is.
Live job searches across twelve cities — Salem, Erode, Coimbatore, Trichy, Madurai and Chennai here in Tamil Nadu, and Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi NCR and Noida outside it. Plus honest salary figures for India and abroad, a guide to applying for international work with visa routes for 52 countries, and openings that come to us directly from the companies whose systems we maintain.
Live job search — by role and city.
Twelve cities — six in Tamil Nadu, six outside. These links open a live search on Naukri, so they are never out of date: they show whatever is open at the moment you click, not a list somebody typed last month.

These searches run on Naukri. For the same city on LinkedIn, Indeed and Google Jobs, see the other job sites below — the same vacancy is rarely on all four.
The other job sites.
No single site has everything. Naukri is the largest in India, LinkedIn is where multinational and international recruiters look, Indeed carries a lot of smaller employers who never post on the big portals, and Google Jobs searches all of them at once — including company career pages. Check more than one. The same vacancy is rarely on all four.

These are city-wide IT searches. Once a site opens, use its own filters to narrow by role, experience and salary. Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed and Google are independent of us — we do not control what they list, and we earn nothing from these links. Always check the employer yourself before applying.
Openings that come to us directly.
We maintain the IT systems of more than 40 organisations. When one of them needs to hire, they often tell us before the job reaches any portal — and we pass it to our students first.
Nothing open at the moment
We only post a vacancy when a client company actually has one, and we take it down when it is filled. An empty board here means there is genuinely nothing open — not that we stopped looking.
When one comes in it appears here with the role, the location and how to apply. These are not advertisements, and we take no fee from anyone — not from the company, not from you.
The openings move fast, so the list is not the useful part — the alert is. Send us one WhatsApp message with the role you want and the city you can work in, and we will message you the day something matching arrives.

What these jobs pay.
Honest figures, with an honest warning attached: salary depends on the company, the city, your interview and your luck. Treat everything below as a range to aim at, not a promise.
India — annual salary by experience
| Role | Fresher | 3–6 years | 7+ years |
|---|---|---|---|
| IT Support / Desktop Engineer | ₹2.5–4 L | ₹4–8 L | ₹8–14 L |
| Network Engineer (CCNA) | ₹3.5–6 L | ₹6–16 L | ₹16–35 L |
| Linux / System Administrator | ₹3.5–7 L | ₹7–18 L | ₹18–35 L |
| Data Analyst | ₹4–8 L | ₹8–18 L | ₹18–35 L |
| Software / Python Developer | ₹4–8 L | ₹10–25 L | ₹25–50 L |
| Cyber Security Analyst | ₹4–8 L | ₹9–22 L | ₹22–45 L |
| DevOps / Cloud Engineer | ₹5–9 L | ₹12–28 L | ₹28–55 L |
Bengaluru and Mumbai typically pay 15–30% above these ranges; Chennai and Pune around 8–15% above; smaller cities below. Product companies and multinationals sit at the top of each range, IT services companies nearer the bottom.
International — software developer, annual
| Country | Mid-level | Senior |
|---|---|---|
| United States | $110,000–130,000 | $150,000–180,000 |
| United Kingdom | £55,000–70,000 | £80,000+ |
| Germany | €60,000–70,000 | €90,000–100,000 |
| Singapore | S$70,000–90,000 | — |
Entry-level data analyst, for comparison: around $70,000–80,000 in the United States, £23,000–25,000 in the United Kingdom, and AED 5,000–10,000 a month in the UAE.
Before you get excited about the international numbers. A salary abroad comes with the cost of living abroad — rent, tax, insurance and travel home. A developer earning €65,000 in Germany does not keep €65,000. Compare what is left after living costs, not the headline figure. And every one of these jobs needs a visa that an employer must sponsor.
Figures above are indicative ranges gathered from public salary guides published in 2026. They move constantly. Check the live figure yourself on AmbitionBox or Glassdoor for India, and Levels.fyi or Glassdoor for abroad, before you make a decision.
How to apply for an international job.
Most people who want to work abroad fail at the paperwork, not the interview. Here is the honest sequence — followed by the work-visa route for 52 countries, each with the government website where the real rules are written.
1. Get the skill first
No country sponsors a visa for someone they can hire locally. You need a skill that is in shortage there — which today usually means cloud, cyber security, data engineering, DevOps or senior networking. General IT support will not get you sponsored.
2. Get certified
Foreign employers cannot judge an Indian college degree. They can judge a Cisco, Microsoft, AWS, Red Hat or CompTIA certificate, because it means the same thing everywhere. This is the single highest-value thing you can do.
3. Rewrite your resume
An international resume is one or two pages, has no photograph, no age, no marital status, no father’s name. It leads with what you achieved, with numbers. Indian resume habits get filtered out automatically.
4. Apply where sponsorship exists
Search for the role plus “visa sponsorship”. Large employers sponsor; small ones almost never do. Applying to a company that does not sponsor is wasted effort, however good you are.
5. Understand the visa route
Each country works differently. Some need an employer first, some let you qualify on points before you have a job. Read the official rules — not a consultant’s summary of them.
6. Prepare for a remote interview
Expect two to five rounds on video, across time zones, in English. Spoken English and the confidence to explain your own work matter as much as your technical answer.
The main routes — 52 countries
The route name and whether you need a job offer first. The last column is the government’s own website: that is the only place the real rules live. Everything else on the internet, including this page, is a summary that can go out of date.

Read this before you act on the table above. Fifty-two countries is a long list, but only a handful will realistically suit you — it depends on your skill, your certifications, your English, your savings and your family situation. Immigration rules also change without warning, and quotas fill. Treat this as a starting point for your own reading, never as advice. Confirm every detail on the government website in the last column before you spend a rupee, and be especially careful of any agent whose story differs from what that site says.
Immigration rules change often, and they change without warning. Always confirm on the official government site above before spending money on anything.
Where to search for international roles
LinkedIn Jobs
The main channel for international hiring. Set your profile to English, add your certifications, and filter for roles that mention visa sponsorship.
Company career pages
Applying directly on the employer’s own site is more effective than any portal. Make a list of twenty companies you would want to work for and check them monthly.
Country job boards
Indeed for most countries, StepStone for Germany, Bayt and Naukrigulf for the Gulf, JobStreet for Singapore and Malaysia. Search in that country’s own board, not only global ones.
Protect yourself from job fraud. A genuine employer never asks you for money — not for a visa, not for “processing”, not for training, not for a security deposit. Nobody guarantees you a job abroad for a fee. Be suspicious of an offer that arrives only on WhatsApp, of an agent who will not give a registered office address, and of anything that must be decided today. If you are unsure about an offer, send it to us and we will look at it with you — free, whether or not you are our student.
Common questions.
How often is this page updated?
The job search links are live — they show whatever is open the moment you click. Salary figures are reviewed every few months. Openings from our client companies are posted as they reach us. The date at the top of this page tells you when it was last reviewed.
Do you guarantee placement?
No, and you should be careful of anyone who does. What we do is teach you properly, prepare you for the certification exam and the interview, and pass on openings that come to us. The hiring decision belongs to the employer.
Do you charge for job assistance?
No. Openings we pass on are free, to students and to companies alike. If anyone asks you for a fee in our name, tell us immediately.
I have no experience. Can I still apply?
Yes — every experienced person started somewhere. Apply for trainee and L1 roles, and use your certification and your practice projects as your evidence. Tell us what you have and we will help you decide what you are realistically ready for.
Is it better to work abroad or in India?
It depends on what you want from your life, not only on the salary. Abroad pays more but costs more, and takes you away from family. Many of our students build five or six years of experience in India first, then move with a much stronger position. There is no single right answer, and we will not push you either way.
Tell us the job you want.
Send us the role and the city, and we will add you to our alerts — and tell you which courses would get you there, in what order, and how long it would take.
