Company Seeks Specialist to Analyze Trends in Instagram Reels in Udaipur

The story of Kalpana Chauhan, a resident of Shimla, demonstrates how a bold decision at the right time can drastically change life and ensure financial independence. Leaving her job at an IT company in India with a 9-to-5 schedule, Kalpana moved to the UAE (Dubai) and completely changed her career trajectory. Today, her choice has proven extremely beneficial.

In an interview published by social media influencer Jagish Chawla, Kalpana shared her journey, significant salary increase, and career change.

While working in India, Kalpana earned only 32,000 rupees per month as a software engineer. She had always strived for financial stability on her own and sought more promising career opportunities. It was this desire that led her to decide to move to Dubai in 2024.

Upon arriving in Dubai, instead of staying in the IT or technology sector, she began working in human resources (HR). She currently holds the position of HR Manager at a company in Dubai that helps people obtain tourist visas to countries around the world.

Speaking about her current income level, Kalpana reported that she earns over 5,000 UAE dirhams monthly in Dubai, which is equivalent to approximately 1.28 lakh Indian rupees. She noted that the biggest expense in an expensive city like Dubai is rent. However, her employer provided her with accommodation, allowing her to avoid significant costs.

Her story, showing a jump from 32 thousand to 1.28 lakh, is an inspiration for young people looking to change careers. Furthermore, Kalpana cautioned young people seeking employment in the Gulf countries (UAE).

She advised not to blindly trust anyone who promises a job abroad, whether it be an agent or a private individual. It is essential to thoroughly check every offer and all received information. It is important to seek guidance only from reliable and experienced people, and to make any decision only after verifying the company's data.

In the modern world, securing a good job and a high salary is a dream for many people. However, a complex situation arises when an individual already has two remote jobs bringing in a monthly income of about 2.95 lakh rupees. A software engineer found himself conflicted after receiving a job offer with a fixed annual salary of 43.5 lakh rupees from a company in Bangalore. The new position offers a high salary but requires him to quit both current jobs and relocate to Bangalore.

He shared his dilemma on the Reddit platform, which sparked active discussion among users.

The engineer informed users on the r/developersIndia forum that he has about 11 years of experience in this field. Currently, he holds two remote positions that collectively bring him about 2.95 lakh rupees per month.

According to his data, the annual CTC for the first job is 27 lakh rupees, but due to the application of the Loss of Pay (LOP) rule for remote work, he receives about 70 thousand rupees net each month. The second remote job has an annual CTC of 30 lakh rupees, providing him with about 2.25 lakh rupees net monthly. Thus, the total monthly income from both jobs reaches approximately 2.95 lakh rupees, and he does not need to change cities because of the remote work format.

Meanwhile, the engineer received an offer from a company in Bangalore with a fixed annual CTC of 43.5 lakh rupees. Additionally, there is an annual variable bonus of up to 4.35 lakh rupees. However, what concerns the engineer is the hybrid model of the new job, which requires visiting the office three days a week.

The engineer calculated that, including the variable component, he could earn about 2.9 lakh rupees net monthly, although the exact net profit from the fixed salary is not yet clear. Accepting this position means having to resign from both current jobs, especially the second remote job, which he believes cannot be combined with the new one.

The problem is not limited to salary issues; for the new job, he would have to move to Bangalore, where expenses for rent, travel, food, and other daily necessities would increase. He estimated that living in Bangalore would cost about 50 thousand rupees per month, including 25–30 thousand rupees for rent, with the remaining amount going towards travel, groceries, and other necessary expenses. According to his calculations, with a net income of 2.9 lakh rupees, about 2.4 lakh rupees would remain after covering these expenses, excluding other family obligations.

The engineer also mentioned his responsibilities, such as his daughter's future, caring for his mother, and his sister's upcoming wedding, making the decision to change jobs difficult based solely on salary.

Questions arose on social media regarding the feasibility of holding two jobs simultaneously. Reddit users asked how he managed to work at two places at once without facing background check issues. One user asked how he manages information about working at two companies and PF records. The engineer replied that his private company is registered, and the salary is deposited into the same account.

User opinions on the engineer's post were divided. Some advised him to accept the Bangalore offer, arguing that combining two jobs can be risky, and it is better to choose a stable position. Others noted that since the current setup yields about 2.95 lakh rupees monthly and allows for remote work, moving cities for roughly the same net income does not seem economically advantageous. Some commentators also advised him to try negotiating a higher salary with the new company.

As of now, the engineer has not made a final decision on whether to continue working in two remote positions or accept the offer from Bangalore. His difficulty lies in the fact that the new job might give his career a certain direction, but the city change and family responsibilities could negatively affect his savings.

A press conference was held at the Business Ombudsman's office with the participation of the public council and media representatives, during which the collected amount of funds was announced.

It was reported that 233 billion UZS was collected for entrepreneurs.
