~~Even if you ignore the copy/paste, this dude's casually mentioning he's looking to earn a $240,000 salary in a gig subreddit...~~

EDIT: ₹240,000. In rupees. Thank you for the corrections! I haven't had my coffee yet...

₹240,000. That's like less than $3,000 US.

That's a shit ton of money for someone that is "broke and desperate". This is from a European cost of living PoV. In india it is probably a shitton of money

EDIT: this comment is wrong. See responses below.

shitton

20000 rupees per month is around 200 euros from what I see

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah my bad. The original post was per month but the comment I replied to was per year. I assumed it was per month too.

So it would be 3k/year.

Yeah, that's definitely not a lot.

~~It is a shitload, tbh. I make half as much and my salary is considered pretty high in here. Most of my friends barely make a half of my salary. Ukraine.~~

Upd. Again month-year confusion.

Ah, again month / year confusion. I should have went slept instead writing that then :)

Just checked: 20 000 rupies is a bit more than a minimal wage here. And the minimal wage in India is around 16k rupees. OK, in that case dude just wanted somethig around minimal wage. That's not much.
