Bring your own TP, hand sanitizer, and bug spray everywhere. Closed toe shoes always. Get all the vaccinations. I brought a big scarf with me that doubled as a blanket and bed sheet at night, and a head covering for visiting temples. Fab India has very comfortable clothes. I liked to try to blend in on the weekends. Flights and hotels are super cheap, so travel if you can! Also, buy alcohol at Duty Free. It's really expensive otherwise.

That's my hometown, changed considerably since I moved out 15 years ago. Traffic is a nightmare, so plan on getting a hotel close to your work location. Food in general is pretty awesome, not just Indian. It used to be known as the pub city, before the local government put some ridiculous bans on how late bars could stay open...still a bunch of really cool beer gardens if that's your thing. Try making weekend trips to some places - Mysore, Taj, Goa, Kerala boat tours etc. People in general are chilled out. Hope you have the best time!

How do you guys handle someone else taking credit for your work?

A colleague keeps running point on my projects and regular work. I do 80% of the work (strategy + execution). Her involvement is much smaller yet she’s established herself as the main person for this area of marketing.

I have little visibility for my hard work and it’s frustrating nobody sees my contributions as “mine”. They ask her questions she then ask me. Bc we’re remote nobody sees what’s happening and I’m demotivated.

I have been in my current job for 1 year now as a booking coordinator for a logistics company.
