- chse_cake 5y agoIndia is notorious for paying shit money to people. When I started my first software job in India i was paid less than 4k$ a year, I lived in a slum and worked 60 hour weeks. I obviously did not have to pickup some one else’s shit. And I am not saying that America has a prettier picture but overall being on minimum wage in America/Europe is actually a little better than being on minimum wage in 3rd world / developing nations.
