He shared that as the first step, he created a target list using LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, and Levels.fyi. He shortlisted about 30 international companies which were offering visa-sponsoring roles. After building a database, he “reverse-engineered job requirements.”
Modi explained he “Analysed 35–40 job descriptions. Noted repeated skills (≥60% frequency). Turned that into my prep roadmap.” Following this, he created a structured 10–12 week plan.
Alongside this, he also kept updating his skills using various resources. Further, he documented real work experiences.

The outcome? Modi shared, “ ₹1.8Cr international offer — cracked directly from India. No hacks. No shortcuts. Just a system followed consistently.”
