      6/ Read Nupur's post to see how she struggled to articulate her value to people outside Google and outside data-center infrastructure. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-left-my-google-job-life-became-hard-nupur-dave/ … You don't realize things that are obvious to you aren't obvious to outsiders

      7/ Points #1 and #2 in @kanikanema's article give you specific suggestions on how to do this. And don't forget to get your friends to critique what you've written.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-left-my-google-job-life-became-hard-nupur-dave/ …

      8/ Then comes the interviewing. Just because you are great at your current job, and you will be great at your future job, doesn't mean you'll ace the interview that sits in between Interview processes are broken everywhere, and you'll need strategies to navigate the mess.

      9/ People will ask questions about long-forgotten basics. Or about data-structures that nobody really uses, but everybody loves asking about in interviews. It's an unavoidable evil, so brush up on your basics.

      10/ Some people don't realize that you can't really get interviews by applying through company websites or HR. Emails and resumes go there to die. You *must* be able to connect to hiring managers or senior employees in the target company through come common connection.

      11/ A "warm" introduction to the right person in the target company goes a long way towards ensuring that (1) you get an interview, (2) with the right team, and (3) the interview is not too adversarial. The best introductions result in the company trying to sell to you!

      12/ Which brings me to networking and industry awareness If you've been in the same company for a long time (especially in a non-customer-oriented role) you're probably bad at this. You must improve both: connections to people outside your company, and awareness of trends/tools

      13/ You must start going around meeting people in the industry. Ask your friends to introduce you to the right people. Everyone in the industry is happy to meet senior folks with good background. (Note for juniors: most people are happy to meet juniors who show initiative.)

      The senior/junior language in India really turns me off

      It's not just language, it's the territory too. "Seniors" often refuse to do hands-on work, and want a team of "juniors" under them. "Juniors" will often not work on anything that is not specifically assigned to them by "seniors"
