Struggling to secure a salary of ₹3.5 LPA: A young Indian job seeker vividly illustrates the challenging nature of employment quests in India
In a poignant post on Reddit, a young professional has shared their experiences of navigating India's job market, highlighting the harsh realities faced by many of their peers. The post, which has sparked a lively discussion online, details the struggles of earning enough to meet basic needs, even with a BCom degree, 2.7 years of experience, and knowledge of Artificial Intelligence.
The Reddit user, who has worked at a Multinational Corporation (MNC) for 1.7 years and spent around one year at a chartered accountant firm before that, believes that the current economic climate is a 'hard reality' of the country. They express disappointment over the false promise that hard work and sacrifices will lead to financial success, a sentiment that resonates with many young Indians.
Despite meeting various market requirements, the Reddit user has not been able to secure a salary hike of 75-1 lakh rupees, a goal they have been striving for. Currently, their salary falls short of 3.5 LPA (3,50,000 rupees). The user believes that the ongoing recession, which they see as a new reality since 2020, has significantly impacted their career progression.
In the last few months, the Reddit user has applied to hundreds of jobs, but with little success. This post serves as a sobering reminder of the challenges faced by young professionals in India, and the disparity between the promise of a prosperous future and the stark reality of economic struggle.
The post has sparked a wide-ranging discussion online, with many expressing sympathy and others offering advice. It is a conversation that is long overdue, and one that sheds light on the need for systemic changes to address the issues faced by young professionals in India.
