I was in the final year of college and having tried a couple of startups I wanted to get a remote job. The naive thought was "gee, someone is gonna give me a product role remotely" and let me see how many folks want to hire me. Applied at every known startup in SV world and remotejob sites and gave up on the hope for getting a product role but remote working still was a first love of sorts. I started appliying for customer support positions at various places again only to never hear back from them. Posted once on Who wants to be hired on HN as well and that did not go anywhere. And out of the blue a friend of mine whom I had sort of worked with in the past told me about a Product role in Bangalore. I had given up hope on Product Roles, Remote jobs since I was sitting on 70+ rejection mails. I decided to take it and that was nearly 3 months back. TL:DR ? a bit of network and luck(ing out and in ?)
