They make the equivalent of $545 USD a month. Would you live on that salary?

It was like that here until a few years ago. Oh well, time for people to start retraining for the next big thing.

Some of the local consulting companies I know have started using Indian companies to facilitate 24/7 progress on large-scale software projects. It's upsetting, but there is a bright side; the market in the US will soon dissipate due to the lack of interest for new grads, and that will leave the market open for people like myself. I'm already seeing a lot more consulting opportunities available simply because so many independents got scared and went to work for larger companies.

There are brighter days ahead if you can stay the course, imo.

If you lived in India apparantly you'd live very well.

"Software workers with two years of experience are paid about 25,000 rupees ($545) a month, roughly one sixth of what their U.S. counterparts earn but a princely wage in a country with an average per capita income of $480 a year. "
