Indian student declines US job over intrusive condition
A student from a tier-3 Indian college turned down a US tech internship after the company insisted he keep his camera on during all work hours.
He shared his story on Reddit, admitting he was unsure if walking away was the right move since such offers are rare for students like him.
The role came with a stipend of up to ₹40,000 per month and a shot at a full-time job.
Netizens divided over the student's decision
The post quickly blew up online, with people split over his decision.
Some backed him, saying constant video monitoring feels invasive and shows a lack of trust.
Others felt he should have taken the offer given how tough it is for students from smaller colleges to land opportunities like this.
Many also pointed out that strict surveillance could signal poor management and might hurt team morale in the long run.
