Overview
- Nihar Patil, a Pune-based professional, posted an Instagram clip urging fresh graduates not to dismiss jobs that pay about ₹3 lakh per year.
- He said a first job teaches basics like office culture and domain fit, and argued that employment matters more than the initial pay.
- Patil added that a modest salary can build budgeting habits and said moving from 3 LPA to higher packages is possible with learning and time.
- Responses online were split, with some users endorsing the focus on experience and others questioning if such pay meets living costs or fair terms like bonds.
- Hindustan Times and Financial Express reported the video with disclaimers, noting the claims are user-generated and unverified, and HT said it has sought Patil’s comment.
