GitHub slashes engineering team in India
For the people arguing that Indian Techies are expensive, Here are the pay bands for Amazon in India vs USA.<p><pre><code>       USA             India  
</code></pre>
SDE1   160k         |  30k<p>SDE2   252k - 325k  |  65k - 100k<p>SDE3   400k - 600k  |  150k - 200k<p>Also, Labor laws in India are non-existant where you can work your employee to death. Amazon also pays top of the market in India and you can get decent workers for much less. Hence, you can get 10x the output by investing the same capital in India instead of USA.<p>Another point is the labor of India being poor quality. These come because people contract WITCH companies which pay not even pennies to its employees. Expecting people to create top notch work while paying 4k$ per year is just not feasible even in India. (McD worker in US makes 13k$ per year).
