A fresher in Mumbai secured a Rs 40,000 monthly internship after a challenging job search but found that rent near Lower Parel costs about Rs 30,000, leaving only Rs 10,000 for food, travel, and other expenses. Concerned about financial viability, the individual sought advice on Reddit, questioning if the internship's experience and networking opportunities justify the high living costs and reliance on parental support.
