Moving to a distant city for your first job can be challenging because you must handle all of your expenses, from rent to food and travel. A woman asserted on Twitter that a salary of Rs 50,000 is insufficient for freshers to survive in a metropolis, sparking an argument among netizens.
“Why are fresher salaries so low?” tweeted Medha Ganti. How is one expected to survive in a city on it? You’ll barely have any savings with a monthly income of $50,000. Not everyone has the ability to ask for money from their relatives!”
Her April 25 tweet went viral, garnering over 1.2 million views. While some people supported her, the majority of netizens disagreed, pointing out that earning Rs 50,000 in one’s first job puts one in the top tier.
“Because the cost of living does not solely determine salaries.” “Demand and supply economics plus the ability to solve more difficult problems, do,” one person said.
“It depends on your way of life.” I know people that make less than $50,000 per year but save at least $8-10K each month after deducting all expenditures. I also know people whose living expenses exceed $50,000. “It all comes down to the lifestyle we want to live,” remarked another.

“I believe 50k INR per month is sufficient for a fresher in any major city today.” They must make difficult decisions and may have to live outside of the city, but the future seems bright. It’s a trade-off to get experience. “It’s a little difficult, but it’ll only be a matter of time before salaries become more comfortable,” said another user.
