I worked for Microsoft in Beijing and was underpaid vs my colleagues in Beijing. But I still pulled away more than $100k/year. I could make those poverty wages work with the lower cost of living in Beijing vs Redmond. I would bet Google in India is similar, but I have no information on compensation there so couldn’t tell for sure.
