Software engineer earns Rs 7 lakh moonlighting for US firm
A 29-year-old software engineer named Rohit earns Rs 7 lakh a month by working two IT jobs—one during the day and one at night for a US company.
He works nearly 16 hours daily and fears AI could render his skills obsolete, driving his relentless work ethic.
Rohit's financial anxiety stems from family responsibility: his brother sacrificed his own education so Rohit could study.
He owns assets and has substantial savings but continues chasing ambitious financial goals due to fear of job loss.
His story, shared on the podcast 'Fix Your Finance' hosted by Anshuman Sharma, highlights the need for financial planning and work-life balance.
