“This local momo shop is offering a better package than the average college in India these days,” Singh exclaimed alongside a picture of the advertisement. The prospect of earning Rs 25,000 at a momos shop sparked excitement among X users, with many expressing humorously their willingness to apply.

However, amidst the enthusiasm, some users remained skeptical, pointing out the challenges associated with the job despite the attractive pay. 

“Engineer salary will increase with time, here it won’t,” remarked one skeptic, highlighting the differences in career prospects between the two industries.

Working hours 11am to 12pm + whole day on feet + no paid holiday + no insurance. Average college students can barely study for 3 hours by sitting a place they’ll work for 13 hours…,” wrote another.

A third chimed in: “The skills you need for that job are also not taught in most colleges.”

“They are paying better than TCS,” wrote a fourth. “India wants to know…where is it located?” inquired a fifth.

Another said: “I’ve been seeing this trend with riders of Swiggy and Zomato also. They say they get a better pay of around 25 to 30 K whereas a nurse in a private hospital makes around 20-22K per month and she deals with human health.

The viral job posting sheds light on the evolving dynamics of the job market, where unconventional opportunities like working at a momo eatery offer competitive salaries compared to traditional career paths. As discussions continue, the incident prompts reflection on the changing perceptions of job roles and remuneration in contemporary society.
