In India, your servant cleans your house, your servant drives you around, your servant cooks food for you, your servant ties your shoes… community 🥰
I can’t think of one other person who doesn’t appreciate these luxuries! Wait, what do you mean “proles are people”??
Tech pays significantly more than $40k in india (at least in cities like Bengaluru) if levels.fyi is anything to go by. 25th percentile of sr software developers is $38k, 90th % is $108k. So seems like a typical mid-career white collar worker could be making in the $40k+ range? These people are probably a very small % of the overall population though.
Sounds like there’s a massive opportunity for western firms to hire Indian work-from-home programmers then, if their national education was improved
their salaries are 20x inflated relative to the average citizen (as opposed to the west where it’s more like 1.5x inflated).
India will probably end up being the China of software (rather than manufacturing)
They already do
not if the average salary is $40,000
most Indian people would jump at the chance to make even $10,000 annually, meaning there’s still a 1.2 billion-man opportunity for firms to take advantage of in the future
