Living a dream in New York is not a cheap and Indian software engineer working on Google now shows how expensive it is. In Instagram Maitri Mangal viral £4 lakh (around $ 5,000) each month.
The video, published by Podcaster and creator Kushal Lodha, quickly attracted the attention of his brutally honest disintegration of urban life in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Maitri, who works on Google, did not do that: the rental itself costs an incredible $ 3,000 (approximately £2.5 lakh) every month.
Add her daily expenses, including food, dining and weekend plans that can cost another $ 1,000 to $ 2,000 ( £83,000 to £1.6 lakh). Commuting to the city? This adds another $ 100 to $ 200 per card.
Maitri’s monthly budget rejects up to $ 5,000 ( £4.1 Lakh).
When Maitri asked for average salaries for software engineers in NYC £1.25 to £1.6 Crore per year, depending on the role and experience.
Social media reacts
The reel caused mixed reactions online. Some viewers appreciated Maitri’s transparency and said he offered much needed control of reality for those who dreamed of working abroad.
The user wrote: “Har Jagah Sirf Kitno package Milra Hai Yehi Sabh. Bhai Aage Badho.”
Another user wrote: “Bhai, I like your content, but this lacks relevant knowledge.
The third user commented, “Love this collage!”
The fourth user asked on Instagram, “How much is it in taxes?”
“1.6 CR in NYC is barely survival,” the fifth user said.
The video is part of a growing trend where young experts share honorary insight into life abroad-salaries and expenditures for cultural shocks and balance between work and private life.
