An online account comparing the career paths of two college batchmates has sparked discussion about how fresh graduates respond to low-paying mass-recruitment offers. According to the post, both received 3.5 LPA offers from Wipro in 2022, but made different choices. One rejected the offer and spent the next two years preparing independently, while the other accepted the job, continued building technical skills alongside work and later moved through higher-paying roles.
The comparison traces how their decisions played out over the following four years, with the first batchmate eventually taking a non-technical support position after struggling to secure an IT role, while the second moved from Wipro to a mid-tier company and then to a US-based technology firm.
