    I work around 45 hours a week and earn around 35,000 rupees monthly. Translates to around 5k USD yearly. This is on the lower end for someone working in tech (I’m in QA, not a dev), developers can expect from 6k to 24k USD on average. They are also expected to reach work harder, though. There are exceptions to this, obviously.

        …does it? I make more than 10x that as QA in germany, work 40 hours a week (with 30 vacation days, no idea what vacation standards are in india) and cost of living is around 4x what it is in india.

        Even with what I hear from the US that still seems worse since you just make far less money relative to cost of living, as I’d imagine US salaries are higher than here if anything.

        We expect better from the land that exports their culture everywhere and claims to be NuMBAH 1!

        EDIT : when was the last time you saw a bollywood film advertised in your country on tv or on a billboard?

          I mean i don’t really watch anything with advertisements in it and we don’t really do the whole movie ads on billboards thing in Alberta that I’ve seen, so I’m probably a bad person to ask. But I assume it doesn’t really happen in situations where that would happen I guess?
