Son of Anganwadi Worker bags Rs 1.8 Crore job at Facebook in UK

New Delhi, June 28: In a major development, a student from Jadavpur University in West Bengal, has secured a job at Facebook with an annual pay package of ₹ 1.8 crores. Baisakh Mondal is the name of the student who has bagged a lucrative offer from Facebook. This is the highest pay package offered to any student of the university this year.

 

 

It should be noted that he is a fourth-year student of Computer Science and Engineering at Jadavpur University. Apart from Facebook, Baisakh also got job offers from Google and Amazon, however, he declined all their offers and chose Facebook because of the high package.

 

"I will join Facebook in September. Before accepting this job, I got offers from Google and Amazon. I thought choosing Facebook would be the best as the pay package offered by them was high," Mondal said.

 

 

 

I got the job offer on Tuesday night. In the past two years during the Covid-19 pandemic, I got the opportunity to do internships at several organisations and gather knowledge outside my curriculum studies. This has helped me crack the interviews," he added.

 

A placement officer at the University, Samita Bhattacharya, said, "This is the first time since the pandemic that students have got such a large number of international offers." Mondal comes from a modest family in Bengal's Birbhum district. Her mother, Shibani, an Anganwadi worker, said, "It is a matter of great pride for us," she said, adding her son has always been a "meritorious student".

 

Around nine students of the university received annual packages of more than ₹ one crore from overseas companies last year, as per media reports.
