Viral: IIT Final Year Student Gets 70LPA Job Offer But Says He Will Never Be Happy

“I am a final year student at IIT born into a middle class family. Since childhood, I have never really asked myself what I wanted to do in life. In school, I was taught to compete with toppers and score 90 plus marks in all subjects. I became a class topper who only knew how to get good grades and because of that, I got admission into IIT. I entered IIT as a studious but underconfident and shy person and honestly, I am still the same,” a student wrote in an email after being offered a high paying job.

But this is not enough. He further says, “It looks like a dream life, maybe even the dream of many students. But I don’t want this anymore. I know I will never truly be happy living like this. Now it feels like I will just compete with colleagues for promotions and if Al impacts the job, I will have to switch roles or become an Al developer and keep working my whole life. Then retire with a 20 crore portfolio and try to enjoy life, but how will I truly enjoy life at 50 or 60?” he said.

Ankur Warikoo, a content creator, recently drew the attention of social media users by sharing the narrative of an IITian who recently received a Rs. 70 lakh pre-placement offer (PPO) at an MNC but did not wish to accept it. Warikoo posted on Instagram that he received an email from the student explaining that he was from a farming family and despite having a great job offer, wanted to concentrate on health and fitness but was unsure of how to make money from his area of interest.

Warikoo reacted to the email by assuring the student that he had achieved what the globe refers to as success and that his emotions were legitimate. Warikoo, on the other hand, suggested that the student first use the work to provide his family with financial security.
