Antiwork

I had a job till last January, started work around October. I was overworked to 50-55hr/week, and the co-founder would call me anytime, even at night. I had no clue what I was doing. As an intern, I was supposed to handle the entire full-stack application of an outdated web framework, work on the database model, as well as write tests. No one to guide me, and a shitty salary of ₹12,000 ($144) per month, which could not cover anything. So I, a fresh graduate, was doing the work of a lead dev in the salary of an intern. I didn't quit because I hated it. I quit, because I was actually sick (as in, illness).

And in a country like India, where there's too many CS graduates with worthless degrees, you're quite replaceable. Also, there's no labor laws. Everything is expensive, including properties. Inflation is so high here, owning a house in Mumbai and Bengaluru is relatively more expensive than in cities like New York or Singapore (remember that the Indian Rupees is 80 times weaker than the US Dollar). I will never be able to buy a land or own a house. And I'm just 23, and I know that we are royally fucked up.
