IITians not ready to work at ISRO at 5digit monthly salary.

Money is everything?

Isro pays 60k-95k to fresher engineers... Still IITians are not joining.

Slogging for Western Mnc is the only desire of IITians?

Comments and solutions??

Everything is so expensive right now. Is it wrong to think about financial stability.

I met a 2019 passed out IIT Madras guy at Thiruvananthapuram and he was drawing 98k.

He left mnc to pursue isro after getting single digit rank in isro merit list.

It's all about priorities.

80-90k is enough to take care of 5 people family in any metro

I hope an IIT grad can help us with an answer.

It's always about the money. IITians be lining outside to get the job of a janitor if being a janitor paid 30l+. With cover letters mentioning how they dream about sweeping the floors clean.

Same is true for everyone else. If ISIS be hiring remote SWEs roles paying 40+l for writing code for rockets then y'all be happily asking for referrals from a bunch of terrorists

The real question is why prefer IITians. Why isn't the discussion about anyone who wants to join? Hell I'm ready to join for that pay. Pretty sure I won't get in though 😅

"Somanath, who is at the top post at ISRO and also the secretary of the Department of Space, was Rs 2.5 lakh - which is the average placement package in top IITs"

We need to stop making an example of sacrifice. Pay talent (and yourself) fairly or you'll see among your talent people to whom sitting on the high horse of self sacrifice is as dear as money

Include HFTs like Tower Research and Graviton Research and everything is blown out of water.

What kind of moral guilty trip is this? We're not in state of emergency where you must stand with nation's services. If ISRO wants top talent, they need to pay for top talent.
