How much was your first salary?

Question

Krishna Kumar · Accepted Answer

A royal amount of Indian rupees 500. That would in today's terms work out to be 6.12 USD. Exchange rate was much better those days, would have been about USD 41 at the then prevailing rate.
This was at a local computer training centre. I had just finished engineering and was interning without pay while preparing for Masters admission. There was an exhibition, where the computer centre was exhibiting. The owner saw me handle visitors and impressed, offered me a job at that princely salary. 
Those were the days!
