Bengaluru Youth React to Cognizant Offering Rs 2.5 Lakh per Annum for Freshers | SoSouth 

Dudes are from 1st year they will see the reality after college 😂

I rejected a 20k job last year thinking its very low. Now I am struggling to get even a 15k job. A huge mistake rejecting it.

Reality check: 20k in 2000s 🗿 20k in 2024 🤡

While 3.5 LPA is definitely not a sustainable package anymore, the audacity of feeling entitled to a 15 LPA package is certainly a textbook Gen-Z phenomenon. 😂

These freshers are expecting 80k and 15lpa seriously 😂😂, they don't the reality of IT industry

Life begins when you get out of college...it takes another 10 years to realize what really works in this world...long journey ahead lads...put your seat belts on and brace for impact...reality will hit you soon

10 yr back i started with 2.5 L in bangalore, and it was decent that time but now its too low, but these fresher are from bangalore so they talking 10 15 20 25 L, but reality is students from wb,or, br, jh accepts this offer early and move to bangalore, adjust and give 1 yr or 2 to make themself skilled and then move to 10 20 30L, Bangalore students will not understand this, outside people know the employment crisis and they accept, upgrade and rule.

Skilled carpenter, Turner, welder earning more than IT professionals, wheel has changed

Dude needs atleast 24LPA for fresher. With this kind of demanding peoples, I think am safe to survive in IT with 10+ yrs of Exp.

2.5 L is not enough even for his petrol expenses?? Look at his arrogance 😂😂😂

I'm 27 and living with 4.5 lakhs per annum ...And what this children are expecting 😂

😂 even we had same expectation but when you stay jobless for a year after college.. Even 2.5 lpa for freshers sounds amazing

Recession is under process. After sometime all these young fellow will be in queue to join for 2.5 lakh very happily.

Organization like Accenture does not even hire BE graduates for their BPO unit...2.5 lakhs is the base offered by most organization. These freshers are dreaming of getting 80k as a fresher. TL gets around 80k in Bangalore

Inflation! 35 years back when I left India, that 20K was a Maharaja salary. Petrol was then 8 Rs. I could take a whole family out for a satisfied dinner for 100 Rs. Rupee has lost value and is continuing to lose at a fast rate. Firstly, I feel the corruption should come down and everyone has to pay fair share of taxes (cinestars, cricketers, business men, realtors etc.,), get the money back from politicians who have taken away all the money from the current generation for their own generation. Secondly, rupee needs to earn more respect which can happen only if we have better exports. The situation in US is not great, locals would pick a job to pay their bills. Countries like Vietnam, Philipines are hungry for work. If we ask for more, the danger of someone getting our bread is there. Yes, I completely agree people need jobs for a decent living but don't throw away the Lakshmi that is coming into your hand. Take the money, learn the skill, invest in yourselves, get certifications and FIRE that company! May sound boring and irritating, you don't have to follow this! --One of you, few dacades ago!

I worked for 11k per month in wipro. These mfing Instagram kids want iphone and sports bike and a vacation in Switzerland with thier 1st salary.

Something better than being an unemployed person in this socialtal pressure 😢

I think you people forgot to mention Mphasis 😂 1.8lc

Expectation: 15 LPA Reality : 2.5 LPA 😂😂

2.5 Lakhs salary is dream of Tier 3,4 college students. Tier 1 and Tier 2 city students expecting more than 10L as freshers. You can except these range salary only Product Based company

20,000 per month for a zero skills zero experience candidate is actually way too high... After the company trains them for a year they jump over to some other company which causes a huge loss to the company which trained them. Many of my friends have worked for zero salaries as interns and later on they gained good experience and also good salary jump too

15 lk package as fresher😂...

Why Cognizant every Maid earns more than 25000/_ a month in Bangalore.Ultimately the voice of sadguru of Karnataka Mr Narayana Murthy matters .

I'm getting 15l after 11 years😂😂😂.. what do you bring to the table.. nothing.. just your flesh and bone 😂😂

In my town many post graduates working in supermarkets, shops, restaurants, offices earn maximum of 8k to 10k per month by working 12 hours a day. They take care of their family with that salary. Some of the employers not even providing a day of weekly off.

Students are so honest, it is not just being arrogant, they were objectively explaining the reasons…

For freshens 2.5~3 pla is fine at beginning. They can stay together in a flat and get industrial skill to ask for 7pa. These students don’t realize that it demand and supply that dictates salary.

You will get- What you Deserve, not What you Desire.

Le Civil Engineers: Hold my beer dudes......We stand at scorching sun 🌞 after completing even PG and still gets paid 1.5-2.5lpa.......😊. There is no one for us........ Accepting our lives and moving on.....

You won’t get 2lpa also, there is training phase where they won’t even pay 12k after months, many get terminated, many selected students aren’t onboarded either so many from 2022 are still waiting..

Dudes need to understand unemployment situation in India 😢😢 , gone those golden days ot IT.

India will accept as supply(population ) is too abundant.

Wipro offers 1.7LPA for Non- it 😭😭 U can check in naukri

Got to tier 3 cities and run a campaign, it would give real feedback

I started my job in cognizant on 2.3 lpa, 3 years later - I was making 10 lpa and now I make multi crores lpa.

if i was 30 years younger, i will take the job for experience purpose. Eventually move to higher paying job

For 2.5lpa company expecting 12 working honurs per day indian companies should feel shame

2010 Average fresher salary -3lakhs 2010 Average manager Salary -10 lakhs 2024 Avarage fresher Salary -4 lakhs 2024 Average manager Salary-25 lakhs What the hell???

Already the big tech companies started developing the AI model will replace the 98% fresher job.Currently the model was executed in release stage .I'm part of the team

Almost all companies will offer same amount for the freshers these young kids are just dreaming..you need to switch every 2 years for more salary.. and that 15 lpa 25 lpa guy 😂😂

Both company and students are on extreme sides. Company gives 2.5LPA which is extremely less whereas students wants 25LPA which is extremely high. 🤷🏻 Dear freshers, I have just started my career as a Data analyst and I've got the offer of 5.5 LPA and believe me, I'm only able to survive and fulfills basic needs but also saves some amount of money. So you need to understand that in the starting you need to spend the money intelligently. Because there are my friends who are earning 60K which is nearly 1.5x of my salary but even then they are asking money from their parents. Why? Because they've wasted their money on pubs or iphone. So it completely depends on you!😏

Only problem is location ,they need to shift the company to tier 3 little town, 20k/month is enough for starters

I was a amazon employee as fresher…. My basic pay was equal to security person at amazon….15k😂

Capgemini paid 18,000 in recession. Then after 6 months it paid 22000-25000. Most service based MNC'S pay 3LPA, not 3.5-4.5 LPA for a fresher who got hired through mass hiring as a associate system engineer

Why do you have to live only in Bengaluru is there no other place to live happily all artificial hype

Do u even know how fast South Asian countries like Vietnam is growing exponential in IT.. gone r days of where u can dream of magic jobs .. and u have huge line of offers... this is super competitive world with severe competition.. u can hire a full stack experienced dev at half price of India...u can't have fkn whole 1.4 billion ppl looking at bangalore for jobs and cry cost of living.. Other state must develope it parks and hold jobs there...

A smart +12 pass out is enough for low level IT jobs. No need of the so called 'engineers'.

Meanwhile Mechanical engineers are begging on the streets 😂😂😂

If one company does this rest all will follow same 😮😮😮

The first break is very important. Companies train the fresh graduates but these engineers run away to other jobs once they acquire the skills. The freshers should consider this as a stipend instead of salary. 2.5 lakhs is actually more for what the knowledge they have.

These youths are right 2.5 lpa === 3000$ per year And cognizant bills clients in US 60000$ per year for the same fresher That’s ridiculous !!! Investigation needs to happen against these IT body shops

Seems like these people didn't see the reality. They are still in their college. Let them come outside and step into the corporate world. Then, they will automatically accept 2.5 or even below that. Everyone who are getting more than 10 LPA, once started their journey from the same 2-2.5 LPA or Unpaid internships. And still people are outside who are ready to take this 2.5 LPA job, coz our country has more supply of Engineers. So, it's not an issue for CTS or any such companies. They don't care about these opinions at all.

Ask for 25 lPA ra...

It is for 3 year degree not for engineers

My apartment security guard, who manages 30 flats, earns a salary of ₹14,000. In addition, he washes 12 cars, charging ₹800 each, which brings in an extra ₹7,200. His wife also works as a housemaid and cook, starting at 7 in the morning and finishing at 7 in the evening. She works for 7 flats, charging ₹5,000 per flat for two meals daily. she earn more than 35000/-

To be honest 2.5 lPA is actually more than enough, close your mouth and do the work

After watching this me a Central government employee with 11LPA feeling blessed.

Gen z thinks life is easy😅😅😅I belong to 90 s and my first salary was 9 k. Dint complaint and that was the avg salary of all mechanical engineers. Now don't give the logic back then inflation was low 😂😂😂😂😂😂we have heard enough we advised our parents also the similar way

To be honest, we are just IT India labors working for the US company. For freshers, expect your payment to be less then the person working in a KFC or McDonalds in the US after the company takes their profit margins and taxes. Expecting a 24lpa package comes only when you jump multiple times, wake up folks these jobs will obviously go to China, Poland, Philippines, Vietnam or Indonesia.

Everyone wants to persue engineering and wants to be a software developer move abroad get lacks in salary .. how is it possible?? Do you know how many graduates/engineers pass out each year ?? Problem is with our mind set sabko engineer hi banna hai 😂😂 time to invest and explore other skills . Run behind government jobs not behind this useless IT jobs which is not even permanent

When supply exceeds demand, this happens. Engineering is a joke now..!, There are many comments here about Maids getting more than 20K- Yes supply is less, hence demand is more and they are well paid.! The IT labor jobs have literally spoiled the skills of people. Conventional skilled jobs are at high demand and are well paid (true in Europe and USA).

Provides salary like Somalia. Expects delivery like UK. This is Indian IT.

2:25 good and welcome to industry madam- i see a hopeful future in your career❤

Well these kids think education is like investment into business...

That guy asking for 25 lpa to fulfill his dreams. A Brave determined soul.

Remember my words: If not you there may be someone else.

This is what happens when you get your degrees through quota and not hard work.

There are lakhs of people waiting for this salary

If you have right skills and the demand is big and supply is low then only company will offer you good package otherwise with less skill companies pay only pennies 🙂

Bruh just out of curiosity i ask every cab driver their monthly average salary, it's 50-60k here in india.

Wake up, youngsters don't over estimate yourself.....come down to earth 😊

I wonder sometimes which world these youngsters live in ? There is competition from other countries, even tools like AI which can produce decent code. why would company hire, if tools can produce better code ? in 80s, when were entering job market, we would be thrilled to get any job as jobs were so scarce. it's time people understand reality

Are there any takers for this exciting offer 😮

An Assistant Professor with a PhD earns less than 15k too.

That's why we need something like a minimum wage bill like in the USA, but this will not happen 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

No problem guys, you're correct based on your assumptions and perception being pursuing the Degrees/Graduation. Once you try to hit the corporate floor then you will realise what it takes and how many years of experience needed to get on 10 or 15L PA, until then enjoy the moments 😂.

That girl want 15 lpa and later she said she'll accept 2.5 lpa.... 😂

2.5 is not enough to get do anything. You can do if u live with your parents and they are dropping you at the office. Auto drivers earn 30000 a year ( every work has its dignity ) so imagine a fresher.

Be grateful, a lot of experienced guys are still underpaid they also get 2..5 LPA.

Youth expectations are more, they joining dreaming of huge package😂

Thanks India Today group for highlighting this. People should follow thier passion and go for it. RU-vidrs, social media, travel vloggers are earning millions. Dont just follow the crowd

I had a mini attack when they said 8 L for a fresher, that was my salary with 9+ years of experience in IT. And that for a fresher???

2.5L Petrol / 2500 LITERS "Must Be NINJA H2 OWNER"😂

A cab driver or laborer who doesn't have any education got a salary of Rs 22,000/- to 28,000/- per month but after spending 20 to 40 lakh for a person from Lk nursery to Graduate with MBA, getting a salary of Rs 20,000. 😂🤣😂

I am a mechanical engineer, I am working in manufacturing industry for 18k per month.

Its deliberate event made with nexus with Karanataka , Tamil Naidu Govt to filter out migrated students , IT professional and Workers . So as to vortually only allowing native ppl . By making excuses of glibal recession, but companies making fortunes by cheap Project Bidi ng 😅😅

2.5 lakh is not too bad for fresher, you have to pay from your pocket in initial days with time salary would go high

Dudes dont realise that it would be a breakthrough in their career. Stepping into IT and that too into a reputed organization is really tough. Take this opportunity if you really need a job, spend a couple of years and you can go places. Think the audience selection is wrong in this video.

Students are dreaming to have 10,12,24 lpa starting . Why would a company pay you that much ? Do we have that kind of skill set ? I agree 2.5lpa is less salary anything around 5lpa is good to start our career.

BAMS, BHMS doctor, gets 15k per month salary in private hospital, after their 5 years of study and their skill. Media just want to show engineers

Loved the answer from the girl, I would see if that leads to my growth and that’s the catch. It’s not about 2.5 LPA rather it’s about getting a job in first place and lead to a better opportunity along with hell lot of learnings

😂start tea shop near tech park

Smart move would be to own a franchise of xerox shops near schools and colleges and run it like a business owner and increase the brand value 😎💲💸🤑

A simple case of demand & supply. We don't need anymore coders. But we do need good carpenters ,welders , mechanics & plumbers. So wake up kids. Times' changed....

Guys Cognizant isn't the only IT company... there are plenty of other ones which offer 4-5 LPA also. It always doesn't have to be an MNC, please consider joining startups or mid-sized companies as well after you graduate. Consider other factors as well. As freshers, you won't have the same kind of responsibilities like experienced professionals who are married and have kids.. Don't get into commitments like home loan, car loans etc. early in your career.. 2.5 LPA isn't great, but it is better than being jobless, it also means you are working for a reputed firm from where you can easily switch after 2-3 years. Think from every perspective before accepting or rejecting a job offer. Competition is very stiff, if you get a 2.5 LPA job, don't blindly reject it, only to repent later..

I start 1.2 LPA in 2019 . I have no market oriented skill ...but after 1 year I reach 3.5 lpa. Today I am earning around 5-6 lpa . And also secured a seat in state government department which is just awesome sallery and power .

Actual every institution need first clear the how many placement salary would be received of ur admited.😂😢😮😅😊 Many institute only marketing fake salary

Some of these youngsters are living in alternate reality. Salaries in IT are unreasonably inflated. They have to comedown.

In Mumbai, private school teachers are offered 20K after passing PG and BEd

if we stand of workers bay , we will get Rs 1500 per day....for example plumber or electrician will get Rs 2000 per day......now a days ITI or Polytechnic guys get better pay than this.....Companies should set some stands for salaries.
