I am seeing ads for the same but concerned about the reliability & regularity of income. I'm currently an Android app developer & is on the stage of losing job as my company facing issues in continuing mobile app development. I have applied for jobs but not getting called. So not trusting Android app development alone & willing to do computer based jobs. But currently unable to relocate due to father's health condition. What are some genuine ways of earning around ₹ 40000 per month at home using computer & internet?

Also, that ad is scam so don't fall for it.

If you change to data entry field it will ruin your career so don't leave development. It may take time but patience is the key.

You can try applying to WITCH companies.

I know one of my relative who worked at one of the witch in Gurgaon, applied to another witch company in Bombay and they offered complete wfh. This was in March 2022. So u may have chances.

Also, you can post this on Developers India subreddit as they sometimes give good advice

TBH, I'm not a passionate developer. I do have interest in reviewing gadgets, apps, games etc
Unfortunately no opportunities for these too.
What about software/games testing jobs? How is the income range?

I am already applying. Some call me ask self introduction, experience, & CTC. After that no response. Next time I get a call I am going to tell them if you are not proceeding further, I need to know reason also.

They are only profitable if u own the platform/channel. Suppose you work under some youtuber, your pay will be very low. About 12-15k/month not more thant that. It is because yt usually pays 60k-100k/month to youtubers (in range of 500k-1mil. Subs) but majority of it goes towards studio, camera and also sometimes devices to review.

if u want you can do it but you need to start slowly alongwith your work i.e. dont leave your work for yt as it can be risky.

additionally, if you see, all the famous ytubers have some ā€Zā€ factor which differentiates them from others (except TG) some have good way to present, some give good points about it etc. so u need to find a Z factor also.

@soorajdigit How old are you? Are you married?

Note that the older you get, the harder it becomes to switch careers. At some point it's no longer feasible to even think about switching careers. Since you already have a head start in software development, I suggest that you lean into it more.

As for your actual query, I suggest you ask recruiters whether they allow working from home. Chances are that if you can convince them that you need to WFH because of your dad's health, some employers will agree to allow you working from home. Also, try joining some startup rather than some big MNC since they tend to have smaller teams and thus will be much more likely to accommodate your requests.

I'm 31. Not married yet. Parents looking for girl to marry but currently unable to search due to this job issue. In my caste the stability of job & income are of high importance for the girl & their family. Now I am also afraid I have to marry a girl because I have to get married in life due to aging.

there is nothing to "fear"-if you are averse to the idea of marriage then no one can force you to marry!

Then I suggest you don't take any risks w.r.t. your career, just lean in to what you are currently doing.

I don't have plan to quit job & move to job based on interests but would like to slowly switch in future

But in India, marriage is only way for someone like me to connect to a girl in almost all aspects
