An Indian tech professional living in the United States has caught the internet’s attention after revealing his impressive six-figure salary in a viral street interview with a content creator. The expat, who works as a product manager at a wireless company in New York, has a decade of industry experience under his belt. When asked to guess his income, the content creator was left stunned as the figure climbed past initial estimates to hit a whopping $250,000 (roughly over ₹2.1 crore).
