Title: 21M from India — How can I move abroad through work, not as a student?

I’m 21, from India, and I want to eventually move abroad and build my career there through a work-based pathway, not a student visa. Due to financial constraints, studying abroad isn’t a realistic option for me.

I’m also new to sales and marketing with no significant prior experience, but I’m willing to start from zero and build the skills and experience required.

For people who have actually moved abroad through work:

What should I learn and do over the next 2–3 years?

Should I first gain experience in India, or is direct overseas hiring realistic?

Which sales/marketing roles and countries should I realistically target?

How can I get real-world experience rather than just collecting certificates?

I’m looking for real experiences and practical advice from people who have actually done this, especially from India.
