~~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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

You're technically correct, but it's much less than $3000 USD. $232.54 USD to be exact. Or roughly two day's worth of pay for the average American. I guess things are much cheaper in India.

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 3 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.

That's actually closer to $2,790
