Is it funny or just casual sexism? Mixed reactions poured in on a LinkedIn post made by an engineer looking for a 'junior wife' with preference to those with 'zero experience'. For the 'experienced', he has promised another round of hiring. With the salary kept 'confidential', the 'job' needed the probable candidate to have certain specific qualifications, including the special skill of being able to cook 'spicy biriyani' at night for the 'employer'. The process for hiring has three rounds with a 'face-to-face' in the final stage.

At a glance, the post might trigger outrage for berating women and that could be the reason behind a disclaimer stating: "This post is just a funny post, this post is just used to make people laugh."

Not everyone found it funny though and one even pointed out that this might harm the person's job searches. The person pointed out that the engineer, Jitendra Singh, could even be sacked or face a complaint at his current organisation under POSH or the sexual harassment Act. One even questioned how content of this type was even allowed on this platform.

"Get real. Apart from being so outdated (100 years?), a post like this will harm your job searches. Attitudes like this in your workplace, may get you sacked or the subject of a POSH complaint. Everyone who wonders why I don't see it as just funny, the reason is simple: it isn't," one person commented.

Another joked about how LinkedIn could soon turn into a corporate matrimonial site, saying, "If this post comes then the platform will soon change to a corporate matrimonial site. As for finding a job, you will be getting your partner along with it...🤣🤣🤣 Nowadays both are difficult to get. 😛"

One comment said that the post triggered a meme fest abroad mocking Indians and requested it to be taken down. He said, "I came here from the meme pages. Man, they are making fun of Indians because of your post. Please take it down." This person who commented works in Dubai, as per his profile on the platform.

But there were some takers too who expressed 'interest' in the opening. One wondered, "Few of my references are asking how many interview rounds will be there, budget for the post, and is there any "probation period"?

But one wonders, at a time when all eyes are on marriage rules with the Uniform Civil Code in discussion, does the employer already have a 'senior wife' present? In that case, there could be a few more stages to the hiring. But in the end, it is one comment that caught our attention and we are in agreement that, "Ladki dhundne ka tareeka thoda casual hai bhai."
