Or areas with weaker employees. I doubt they axed an entire team for monetary reasons alone. They could have axed 1/10th the employees in the bay area and probably covered the entire India roster (financial cost wise).

Senior-level engineers in India, of the caliber that GitHub would hire, easily clear USD 100k+/year. It's not as expensive as Bay Area talent but not cheap either.

  Maybe in general this is true? But then Github's hires were not those, according to https://www.levels.fyi/companies/github/salaries/software-engineer?country=113&offset=0 https://www.levels.fyi/companies/github/salaries/software-en...

    I don't know about GitHub in particular but levels.fyi in general is not accurate for positions in India.

    The one reported E4, i.e. senior level, is at over 100k. But I agree that these salaries are a bit low.

  the issues is these top talent often get offers in the us so they leave. so the churn is horrible
