Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mr Tripathi shared a screenshot of the man's post, in which inquired about companies that provide free food. He revealed that he was an active gym-going person with an annual salary of over Rs 43 Lakh and an experience of 4.5 years. He also stated that his monthly food cost was high and he was looking for companies who could sponsor all his four meals. "Considering joining companies with great protein food and offers food for all 4 meals. I started preparing for Google interviews. Are there any other companies I should target?" the job-seeker questioned.
While sharing the inquiry on X, Mr Tripathi wrote, "I rarely see people with so much clarity about their priorities and future choices His reason to get his next job is simple: good food Whole discussion is quite good".
