'Crazy Offer': Bengaluru Engineer Earning Gets Sweden Job With 3x Salary, Internet Reacts

Viral News: In today’s world, many aspire to move abroad for better earnings and an improved lifestyle. Recently, a Reddit post from an engineer in Bengaluru has caught the interest of internet users.

The post, shared by the user @Strict_Thanks4656, outlines the engineer's struggle upon receiving a tempting job offer from Sweden that promises a salary three times higher than what he currently earns.

The post reads, "I am 31, married, no kids yet, a mechanical engineer working in Bangalore. Currently earning INR 130,000 (SEK 16,500) per month after taxes and retirement deductions. After rent, sending money to my parents, and covering other living expenses, I am left with around INR 50,000-60,000 per month (SEK 7,340), but most of this goes towards EMIs, which I’ll be paying for another year."

The user further added that although he is satisfied with his job, the offer from Helsingborg, Sweden, offering SEK 50,000 which is INR 3.9 lakhs per month, has made him reconsider his options. His motivation for moving is primarily to come out of debt and make investments. However, with dependent parents and a wife who isn’t too keen on working, the decision is complicated.

The post quickly went viral on Reddit, with users offering their opinions about the sweden job. One user commented, "Sweden is not the place to earn high. You can save more if you're single and live frugally, but it’s a great place for a relaxed lifestyle and international work experience."

Second said, "resident taxes in Sweden are high, around 50% if you earn more than $50,000 annually. However, it’s a great place to live with clean air and a high quality of life."

Another user wrote,"If your wife is not motivated to work, she might feel lonely. Maybe she could try volunteering or take language classes to integrate better."
