The following was posted in United Press International last November:

?The real advantage that overseas competitors may have against their U.S. counterparts in the tech sector, however, is the cost of top management?. ? The Indian software company Infosys, for example, paid its executive directors approximately $1.5 million in 2003 -- between the two of them. Admittedly, they got stock options as well -- to a value of approximately $700,000 between them in the same year. ..?

This came from IT Toolbox?s 2003 salary survey:



Somewhere or other (sorry, I can?t find the source any more) I saw a survey of programmers? salaries adjusted for cost of living that showed that Indian programmers had a slightly higher standard of living than American programmers. People like call center staff were better off in the US.
