I wrote a post about my two innings where I got 9 rejections and then 4 offers: https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/1445033/a-story-of-2-innings-getting-9-rejections-and-4-offers/1074244. An interviewing journey which went for around 18 months.
There were questions in comments around how to apply for foreign companies from India. I am going to list down the things that should be kept in mind and how to apply.

Steps:

  1. Along with resume, some companies ask for cover letter and I think they take it seriously. My advice would be not copy the same things that are there in your resume, but think a bit and highlight few points that makes you stand out. It can be technical or behavioral.
  2. Needless to say that resume should be crisp.
  3. Referrals do work for international locations as well. So, use friend XYZ in ABC company.

List :
I am only listing down the companies from where I got at least one call. (Including the HR's call)

  1. Booking.com - Netherlands https://jobs.booking.com/careers
  2. Amazon - Vancuover https://www.amazon.jobs/en/location/vancouvervictoria-canada
  3. Zalando - Berlin https://jobs.zalando.com/en/jobs/?gh_src=22377bdd1us&filters%5Boffices%5D%5B0%5D=Berlin
  4. Google - Zurich - Referral
  5. Facebook - London - Referral

Other than these, I was reached out on Linkedin for a few companies

  1. Rakuten, Tokyo
  2. Paypay , Japan (Tokyo, I think)

I also applied for Twitter, Bloomberg(London) and a few others but did not get call.
Hope it helps.
