A post on X about a professional who left an Rs 18 lakh per annum IT job in Gurgaon for a public-sector bank position in Chandigarh has sparked a discussion over whether job security is worth a significant reduction in salary.
According to the post, the man's decision was influenced by growing concerns over AI-led layoffs. He believed a public-sector role would provide greater stability and accepted a salary of around Rs 10 lakh a year, compared with his previous Rs 18 lakh package.
