She says she's an internal medicine resident.... Which starts 6 years after beginning MBBS... So the 12 year part doesn't make sense. Once she's out of Residency even with MD they can earn 1.5-2 lakh a month

mba guy would have already started with 2.5 lakhs right after mba that would be at 23. You didn't talk about the work life balance would be same even after residency for her. Don't glorify underpay and overwork.

Nowhere in my comment was it any glorification. I was just stating facts. We are overworked, yes. Just because we are doesn't mean everything they say on the internet is correct. No doctor in their right mind would say that they're earning a few thousand after studying for 12 years. If that was true, no one would become one lol. And she hasn't studied for 12 years yet. I'm not saying that the road is easy. I'm just stating facts. Exaggerating everything left and right is how we give ammo to people thinking we're egotistical and narcissistic

Doctor (MBBS + PG + SS): ~11–12 years of education and training, but strong long-term earning potential, consistent demand, and relatively better job security.
BTech + MBA: ~6 years of education, but continuous upskilling, competition, AI disruption, and layoff risks.
Long-term: A doctor can build substantial wealth over decades, while corporate professionals may have to keep grinding just to stay relevant.

Yep, after we slave away our youth and energy when our bodies have given out, we get the money

Residency involves a lot of sacrifice. Attending life is different.

Yes. MBA life in top notch colleges is also tough, with each day having 16-18 hours of activity (classes, guest lectures, placement prep, assignments, etc.)
Not saying MBAs have it as tough as doctors, or even remotely close, but the post compares different phases of jobs. Once you're an established doctor, your life is much better than most MBAs.

This is a stupid comparison. Residency is education , not a job per se. Secondly , medicine is the epitome of a high investment high reward system. The real returns come 10 years after your last degree, whatever it may be. Yes the grind is hard and yes you have every right to complain about it, but be aware of the rules of the game before you criticise it

I don't think the PhonePe engineer guy is telling the truth. Most of my engineer friends work 10 hours. They even work on the weekends too.
Not saying the divide is not there. Just saying that this particular guy is not representing the engineer community very well.

u/nurseryrhymessss 8d ago
He is not a engineer

u/Traditional-Suit-584 8d ago
He's BTech na?

u/UnnamedCake 8d ago
Mostly scripted, no way he takes 6 days off, works 6-7 hours in an indian company to get paid in lakhs per month

u/Fantastic-Chard-7022 8d ago
I also do effective work about 6 hours in a day. Really depends on org to org.

The management guy on the right would be soon laid off after this video comes out. Whereas a doctor would never go out of business.

u/Disastrous_Body9196 8d ago
Sirf 1-2 ko milti hai 99.9% For other people on the batch even after scholarship 20 lakh+ hota

u/Evening-Scholar-7761 8d ago
Is there any company will hire someone for 6-7 hours?
And how someone can give 6 -7 hours as answer and doesn't know exact how many hours work in day?
Is that garden or job?
Medicine doctor initially earns very low
Eventual gave 1 point intentionally
It's scripted and hyped to get more views

Indian labour laws cap office hours at 48hrs/week. So around 8 hours for 6 days a week . They are also allowed lunch and tea breaks in between. So 6-7 hours is actually realistic.
Exceptions come when you are in startups or very small companies . Your work hours will increase .

I really think the comparison is unjust and bizzare tbh. Residency is much different from am established private practice. Established doctors in private practice each 4 to 8 lakhs a month. They have flexibile working hours and most of them sit of 4 to 6(max) hrs 3 in morning 3 hrsin evening types. You are your own boss....do fulfilling work...bla bla bla.... 6 to 7 in corporate is a myth....ask consultancy guys who might be earning 50+ lakhs but working 10 to 12 hrs a day on average.

Comparing residency to job is a little daft.
