- An Indian man decided to turn down a job offer of 23 LPA.
- He accepted a job offer of ₹18 LPA.
- The man decided to take on a job that offers work-life balance.
Salary is a major topic of conversation when it comes to job offers in today’s competitive employment market. However, a recent decision by an Indian man to take a lower-paying position highlights a significant change in employee values.
On LinkedIn, Kataria revealed that his friend turned down a more alluring ₹23 LPA offer in favor of a job offering ₹18 LPA. After initially having his doubts, Kataria came to respect his friend’s choice, which is indicative of an increasing trend in which professionals are choosing work-life balance over financial gain.
His friend started working for a company known for its hybrid work culture, which offers flexible work schedules (five days a week) and encourages employees to maintain a better work-life balance. Conversely, the ₹23 LPA role limited personal time by requiring a rigorous six-day workweek without any options for remote work.
Kataria noted that the demanding hours of his friend’s previous job had negatively impacted his health, leading him to appreciate the importance of spending quality time with family and friends. “This decision is a reminder that compensation goes beyond numbers; it encompasses the quality of life we seek,” Kataria emphasized.
According to a recent survey, 47% of Gen Z professionals plan to leave their jobs within two years, with many prioritizing work-life balance. The report, “Gen Z at Workplace,” also revealed that 51% of Gen Z professionals fear job loss, while 40% worry about securing roles in their desired fields.
