😂 I don't think when >99% of the population don't earn >10L, 15L should be considered less than upper class.

On the earning scale atleast, i guess if you were to base the class on purchase power it'd make sense to hold maybe 30LPA as upper class. It's considering the whole country, even cheap cities like xyz city in UP. And for the whole of India, which includes people living in said xyz city.

Upper class is when you don’t take “a salary” but just go to the bank to borrow a few hundred crores for a thing

What people miss here is background. My friends who earn half as me can maintain a class/spend which is twice of my spending. Reason, I have to work on basics first, home renovation for parents place or parents health costs. Whereas his responsibilities ends with earning for his luxuries.

Equal earning is not equal life standards.

Being in top 5% or 10%, I feel blessed.

Recently I came across a report in ToI that said earning 80 K per month puts you at top 4% in India. Assuming that the stats is true, do you feel contended with what you earn?

So, you belong to a group of 6 crore people. Congrats.

I’ve been working as a SWE for GE in Bangalore for nearly two years. First of all the WLB and culture here is incredible. I honestly can’t believe how great the WLB is over here, I work maybe 20 hours a week on average and am rarely ever...
