A Twitter post made by a woman about low salaries for freshers has caused a controversial discussion on the micro-blogging platform. The debate was not over the accuracy of her claim, but rather on the amount she cited as an example of a low salary, which was Rs 50,000 per month. The user questioned how a fresher is expected to survive on such low pay in a metropolitan city, stating that they would barely have any savings. She added that not everyone has the option of receiving financial support from their families. This tweet has now gone viral with about 1.1 million views. https://twitter.com/mehhh_duh/status/1650782517740593155 The tweet has also attracted a wide range of remarks in the comment section. A user said that the amount of money someone can save each month depends on their chosen lifestyle. He gave an example that some people who earn less than Rs 50,000 per month are still able to save around Rs 8,000-10,000 per month after all expenses. He added that on the other hand, there are also people whose lifestyle expenses exceed Rs 50,000. He further said, “It’s all in the lifestyle we want to live.” https://twitter.com/tejas_shekar/status/1650880328503025665 Many users were surprised to hear that one cannot survive on a Rs 50,000 salary. https://twitter.com/abhaysrivastavv/status/1651110191327477762 Some people sarcastically questioned if there are companies which are paying a Rs 50,000 salary to freshers. https://twitter.com/WanderlustGirl_/status/1651161747250900992 An individual said that a salary of Rs 50,000 for a fresher is not low, even in metropolitan cities.
