While searching for a new job, we all prioritise different criteria. Salary and location may be important to some, while others may consider factors such as work culture, perks, etc. A recent viral post is about an unusual aspect being prioritised in a person’s job search. Moreover, given the person’s current earnings, their mentioned requirements have raised many eyebrows online. The instance was brought to light by Saumil Tripathi, the founder of Grapevine (a career-related platform). Saumil took to X to share a screenshot of a software engineer’s post on his platform.

He 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.” The title of the post shows that the person is looking for “Companies with free food”. The text below reads, “I’m an active gym person. My monthly food cost is high. Considering joining companies with great protein food and offering food for all 4 meals. I started preparing for Google interviews. Are there any other companies I should target? Current salary: 43.5 LPA. Experience: 4.3 years.” Take a look below.
