An Indian-origin tech professional’s candid admission about being dissatisfied with his ₹70 lakh salary in Canada has ignited a viral debate on social media. The man, who works for Infosys in Toronto, cited the city’s exorbitant cost of living—particularly his $4000 monthly rent—as a primary reason for his discontent, a sentiment that many viewers resonated with.
Entrepreneur and content creator Piyush Monga shared the viral clip on his Instagram, captioning it, “$100,000 is not enough. Brother is not satisfied with $115,000 a year as a SAP specialist in Toronto, Canada.”
In the video, the man, while standing beside a woman and holding a stroller, shares his salary and admits that it’s not enough to meet his needs. His response has sparked discussions around the financial strain of living in expensive cities.
The post drew various reactions, with one commenter sharing their experience of working for Infosys in a similar role: “They wanted to send me to the US. Most of my colleagues went there and switched jobs after a year.” Another added, “He should switch companies to earn more. Service companies' transfers don’t offer good pay, whether it’s in the US or Canada.”
