Gayatri Vathsan <\/strong>had about 15 years of work experience in multiple MNCs, mostly as an instructional designer and a writer, when she took a career break in 2014 for personal reasons, leaving behind a pay package of 12-13 LPA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She planned to get back to work around 2015-2016, but couldn\u2019t do that as she has a special needs\u2019 child, and had only about 3-4 hrs per day of free time available for work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could not find part-time remote work opportunities back then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would take a few more years before remote work and international talent arbitrage became possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2023, she started pursuing a remote work course from Skill Arbitrage so that she could pursue remote work on a part-time basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She took assistance from our team to build her Upwork profile, writing outreach messages to her clients, posting actively on LinkedIn and also started learning some skills around generative AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1 month, she received an invite for a job on her Upwork profile from a Philippines-based AI company from Scale AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client offered her an initial trial project, which she performed successfully and then bagged an annual project of USD 10K!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her role involves training an AI model that her client is developing for a Big Tech company. It does not require any technical knowledge of coding, science or mathematics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has to work only for 2 hours per day and can take care of her family for the remaining time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her confidence levels have shot up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She used to write earlier as a hobby, but did not publish her work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After joining our courses, she started publishing her content online, and this led to her securing several career opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gayathri has secured 4 full-time remote job offers through LinkedIn, all of which pay more than her last job! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had to decline them for now as she only has 3 hours per day to work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gayathri is also writing her novel, and she also obtained an offer from a mainstream book publisher on LinkedIn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what happens when you build skills and a demonstrable track record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like Gayathri, it is possible for any woman who had to give up her career to prioritise family needs\/personal obligations to get back into the workforce through international remote work, even if you just have 2-4 hours per day of free time available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to find out how you can jump on the international remote work bandwagon too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to know more about the roles that are most in-demand?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does not matter if you do not have a lot of prior expertise in those areas – with the help of AI you can secure opportunities in about 3-6 months of training. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
