"So a friend told me she is using #jeevansathi.com to see compensation from different companies through people's profiles and then applying there," Bansal revealed in a LinkedIn post currently going viral online.
The Google employee continued by clarifying in the comments that his friend often Googles "people who began working the same year as her" to see what they're earning now to get a sense of salary range and market dynamics.

"This could be the next potential product idea for all the matrimonial services to include in premium services," wrote one person in the comments section.
Another one wrote, "Men use LinkedIn for dating, and women use dating or matchmaking websites for job search".
A year ago, a story of a woman who tried to hire a guy she met on the matrimonial website Jeevansathi.com went viral, shedding some light on the role of these sites outside the sphere of courting.
Salt co-founder Udita Pal of Bengaluru said she had asked for a r¨¦sum¨¦ and sent an interview link to her Jeevansathi match.
Most people use dating apps to find a partner for life, but one Twitter user found his soul mate by applying for a job.
A man named Adnaan posted a screenshot of his conversation with a possible match on the dating app Bumble.
He landed an interview with the start-up scheduled within a few moments of the chat.
