Google: A Google engineer earns Rs 1.2 crore per year by working for an hour a day, here’s how

This may sound like one of those stories that are too good to be true. but a software engineer Google reportedly claims to have earned $150,000 (Rs 1.2 crore) per year by working one hour a day. According to a report in Fortune, the software engineer (pseudonym: Devon). He usually does coding for an hour a day and that’s it. The rest of the time he works on his startup.
It has been said in the report that when he took the job, he knew that he would not have to work hard. He also interned at Google, working less than two hours a day and earning $2,000 a week. He told Fortune that he completed all the code he needed very early on during his internship.
Google has a policy requiring workers to log full-time work hours. However, Devon says that so far no one has noticed that he is not clocking those hours. According to him, it depends on producing sufficient quality work in a short amount of time. He’s definitely smart enough because when anyone has doubts he submits another line of code to show that he’s been working all week.
He also mentioned that his manager is ‘cool’ about him not coming to the office. Google has made it mandatory for employees to report on certain days of the week but the final decision rests with the reporting managers. He told Fortune, “I’m sure at some point Google will send me an email about not doing badging, but as long as I don’t get a warning, I won’t even worry about it.”
According to Business Insider, the average base salary for software engineers at Google is close to $718,000 per year. By those standards, this particular engineer is quite short but he is also putting in fewer hours than the others.
