Indian IT Engineer Earns Rs 7 lakh Per Month Viral Story: A 29-year-old IT engineer, who works 16 hours a day in two jobs, earns ₹ 7 lakh every month, yet a fear is haunting him. Know what is this fear and why is he worried even after so much salary?
Instagram Viral Story: Almost every professional dreams of getting a good salary in the IT sector. But when even a 29-year-old tech professional earning Rs 7 lakh per month is stressed about the future, then it is natural to raise the question why the feeling of insecurity persists even after earning so much. Recently, during a conversation in the personal finance podcast ‘Fix Your Finance’, an IT professional named Rohit revealed many aspects related to his life, which bring forward the thinking and challenges of today’s young employees.
Two jobs, 16 hours of hard work and monthly income of ₹7 lakh
Rohit told that he works for two companies simultaneously. He works for one company during the day and works for another company at night. One of these companies is from America. By combining both the jobs, his monthly earnings reach around Rs 7 lakh. However, the price of this earning is also not low. Due to working around 16 hours a day, he has almost no time left for his family, friends or himself.
Childhood spent in financial crisis
Rohit told that his childhood was spent in financial crisis. Only one child in the family could study, so his brother left his studies and gave him a chance to move ahead. This is the reason why even today he feels that if he is not successful, it will affect the expectations of the entire family. This thinking continuously inspires them to work more.
AI and fear of job loss are not giving up
Recently, after becoming a father, Rohit bought a new car and also bought a 2BHK flat worth about Rs 85 lakh. After getting the house, their home loan EMI will be around Rs 60 thousand, while the car EMI is Rs 28 thousand. Including other household expenses, his monthly expenditure is estimated to be around Rs 1.3 lakh to Rs 1.4 lakh. Despite such strong income and good savings, they are most worried about how their financial situation will be managed if in the future due to AI, jobs in the IT sector are affected and their income reduces.
Saved more than Rs 80 lakh, still did not get mental relief
Rohit told that his mutual fund investment value has reached around Rs 70 lakh. Apart from this, about Rs 2 lakh is deposited in the stock market and Rs 10 lakh is deposited in fixed deposits. That means overall he has a savings of more than Rs 82 lakh. During the conversation, when he was asked why there is stress despite such a strong financial condition, he admitted that due to continuous work, his personal life has almost ended.

Next target is property worth Rs 7-8 crores.
Rohit says that he wants to create a wealth of Rs 7 to 8 crore in the next five to six years. After this, he is planning to leave one of the two jobs and focus only on the American job. Rohit’s story is not only about high earnings, but also about the mental pressure that is increasing rapidly among today’s IT professionals. Despite good salaries, strong investments and wealth, AI, job security and uncertainty about the future have become big concerns for many youth.
