• High earnings seem possible from the very beginning of the social media career, this is mostly because a lot of professionals have previous work experience of many years in another field – as can be seen in subsequent slides• There seem to be a few freak deviances where people after many years have a very low pay• Overall, social media seems to be a fairly lucrative career option in India
