The comments on Munjal's post are far more insightful and revealing than the post itself - this is not uncommon with blog posts. Please read those as well.<p>Here's the one left by Srini Ramakrishnan
"Companies looking for top talent can't also afford to enjoy the advantages of cost arbitrage. If you are truly looking for top talent, you hire the best you can find, where ever they are. They will always have the option to relocate to the US or similar wage band country, and hence they aren't going to come cheap.<p>What works for code factories doesn't necessarily apply for boutique product companies."<p>I think that sums it up pretty well
bogus story.<p>In Bangalore, IT salaries range from $200 per month to $2K per month. So how can they be 75% of Valley salaries?<p>The real truth is - the good engineers prefer to work for the branded companies. InfoSys, Wipro, Google, Microsoft.<p>Everyone else may join a startup for a short while, with the hope of leveraging a good job at the branded companies.
It might be getting expensive, but they have a lot of really talented programmers there - and we don't have enough here and the government won't let more of them come here. <p>So basically, their salaries will continue to rise until they are in parity with similarly skilled Americans.
