‘Coffee

In today’s time, people doing private jobs face many challenges. Apart from the huge expenses of big cities, the burden of maintaining status, it is a big struggle to maintain personal and work life. Talking about the IT sector, many of its companies are in Bangalore and a large number of people from not only North India but the entire country go there for jobs.

In such a situation, an alumnus of BITS Pilani wrote something on social media which started a discussion on the difficulties faced by those working in the IT sector.

Falling hair and status game

This person named Harsh wrote- ‘Most of the tech engineers in Bangalore are very lonely, away from family, no real friends, stuck in traffic, paying rent all over the world, children are not getting good values, stuck in the status game, drowning themselves in tech meet-ups, coffee and alcohol, losing hair, having pot bellies and paying the highest taxes.’

‘Consider this a wake-up call and…’

He also said that ‘People should consider this a wake-up call and take care of their health and family. It is scaring me even more that so many people are relating to it. Consider this a wake-up call and do something friends. Thousands of things will be good but your health and family are broken.’

What did people say on the post?

Since being shared, the post has garnered over 6.4 lakh views and 11,000 likes. One user said, “Isn’t this the story of most youth away from home in almost every city?”

Another wrote, ‘It is scary to even relate to some parts of this. I was sick for a year because of the habit I had developed in cities, after that I worked a lot on my health, now I am feeling better, I live with my family.’ One person said, ‘It is not just about engineers, this whole generation is going through this problem. Be it students, engineers or working professionals.’
