New Delhi: According to the report, Harshal Juikar, a student from Pune, received a pay package worth Rs 50 lakh from Google. In contrast to this situation, engineering graduates only receive the majority of the high-wage packages. Juikar is a student at MIT-World Peace University and has earned a Master of Science in Blockchain Technology, a novel major that few choose.
As per the report, Juikar stated, “I dared to pursue my passion, and the journey was filled with challenges and doubts. But staying true to myself and embracing the unconventional path led me to success beyond my imagination.”
Juikar shared a few tips for other students aspiring to succeed in their lives. He said, “Stay curious, be persistent, and don’t be afraid to explore uncharted territories. It’s in the pursuit of our passions that we truly find our purpose.”
Tech juggernauts frequently hire recent college grads with high-paying packages. Avni Malhotra, a student at the IIM Sambalpur, won a package worth Rs 64.64 lakh from Microsoft earlier this year. According to reports, Malhotra, located in Jaipur, was able to land the post after passing six rounds of interviews. According to the report, Malhotra was hired for the role due to her prior experience working for Infosys for three years and her “organisational competence.” Regarding her educational background, Malhotra has a B.Tech in CS.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were among the top three highest-paying public businesses. Regarding average pay, Meta came in second place, paying staff members a median income of about $3,000 (approximately Rs 2.46 crore). Alphabet, which had a typical salary of $2,80,000 (about Rs 2.29 crore), was right behind it in third place.
Computer behemoths are making significant job losses throughout their organisations while hiring staff at such high salaries. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India’s Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Electronics, and IT, thinks that during the epidemic, people overestimated the need for digital goods.
In an interview, the minister stated, “If we look at the tech space, layoffs occurred post-Covid. It happened to companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and even smaller startups. Some people have overestimated demand and consumption of digital products and services, and that correction manifests itself in resizing the right sizing of organisations. This is, in my opinion, a pretty natural thing for companies, even the big ones, and the startup space, specifically the booing or bust, is, in a sense, built into the DNA of what a startup is.”
