Overview
- An anonymous Reddit user with roughly 2.7 years of experience, including stints at an MNC and a chartered accountancy firm, says they cannot secure a role paying about ₹3.5 lakh per year or even a ₹75,000–₹1 lakh hike.
- The poster reported applying to hundreds of roles despite holding a BCom and newly learned skills such as AI, describing this as the hard reality facing young workers.
- Responses poured in from users citing offers near ₹20,000 per month and claiming a lack of available jobs across the corporate sector.
- Commenters said advanced degrees and Tier‑1 college credentials are not shielding graduates from stagnant pay or unemployment.
- Hindustan Times, The Indian Express, and India Today amplified the thread, using it to illustrate wider concerns over low pay and stalled early‑career growth.
