The post quickly went viral, triggering a flood of reactions across social media. Many users were stunned by the unusually lucrative salary package and the prospect of relocating to Pakistan. Memes and jokes poured in, with several users humorously debating whether they, too, should consider moving across the border.
A large section of users questioned the authenticity of the offer, suggesting it bore the hallmarks of a recruitment scam.
