Overview
- A Reddit user said they were laid off after about 4.5 years at their previous job and that the same day they received a remote job offer that more than doubled their monthly pay from ₹70,000 to about ₹1.58 lakh.
- The new role is described as fully work‑from‑home and focused on client onboarding and troubleshooting for a product the worker already knows.
- The employee said the offer was found through a LinkedIn post and that the employer will pay the salary in US dollars, which would raise local take‑home value.
- News outlets that republished the Reddit post note they have not independently verified the account and report conflicting details about whether the hiring firm is based in India or abroad.
- The account highlights a broader trend where switching employers and dollar‑denominated remote hiring can produce large pay uplifts for local workers and reshape how people value long tenures at a single company.
