bogus story.
In Bangalore, IT salaries range from $200 per month to $2K per month. So how can they be 75% of Valley salaries?
The real truth is - the good engineers prefer to work for the branded companies. InfoSys, Wipro, Google, Microsoft.
Everyone else may join a startup for a short while, with the hope of leveraging a good job at the branded companies.
- eposts 19y agoYou might want to check Manjuls blog about this story. http://munjal.typepad.com/recognizing_deven/2007/04/episode_26_indi.html http://munjal.typepad.com/recognizing_deven/2007/04/episode_26_indi.html He is not making it up. He is talking about the best engineers that he could recruit for his startup in India.
- juwo 19y agoSimply not true. Read the insightful comments that disagree, on the main post. I too, am tempted to blame my failures on someone or something else.
- sudhirc 19y agoProbably he is looking for cheap labour. IIT/REC people always prefer startup so i cannot believe his statement about them. In fact he is not able to sell his dreams to them.
- plinkplonk 19y ago200 $? wtf? I live in Bangalore. The starting slary for someone just out of school is about 1200 $ as of today. But yes, this is about 15-20 % of a valley salary, not 75 % so you do have a point.
- juwo 19y agoI know a technical writer (software) in Bangalore who earns Rs 10K per month (about $200?). If you know of a better opportunity, do email me and I can pass it along.
- plinkplonk 19y agoheh , yeah technical writers are literature graduates who are basically unemployable. If you know any good programmers in Banaglore making less than1500 $ a month, let me know :-). I know many MANY companies who are finding it impossible to hire even at those rates.
