After doing graduation, I will pursue a Master’s in Business Administration from a renowned university.

I start my day at 9 am by replying to the client’s emails. After that, I research writing the content as per the requirement. To reduce complaints, I do a quality check of the tasks by the interns.

11.What would you change about your job?
Web content authors are the backbone of any IT organization. However, the salary package that the company provides us is less compared to the payout given to the employees of other departments like Sales, Human Resources, and Workforce management. I think the management team should take this informed decision of paying us on par with other departments.
