A 29-year-old Indian software professional says he pulls in close to ₹7 lakh a month by working two full-time jobs at once, an Indian company during the day, a US firm through the night, putting in roughly 16 hours of work daily even though he already has over ₹80 lakh saved up, two properties, and a brand-new car, according to details he shared on the personal finance YouTube show Fix Your Finance.
The man, identified only as Rohit, called into the show hosted by podcaster and mutual fund advisor Anshuman Sharma, and what followed was less a success story and more a case study in why doing well on paper doesn't always feel like doing well in real life.
Two Jobs, One Body
Rohit didn't ease into the topic. He opened by explaining the arrangement straight up. "I'm working for two companies, one in day and one in night," he said. That schedule eats up 16 hours of his day, and one of the two jobs is with a US-based company.
Sharma's next question was the obvious one: why keep this pace up at all, given the money already in the bank? Rohit's answer had nothing to do with spreadsheets.
