At today's exchange rate, $10,000 US = 456,000 Rupees
If you live in the Indian economy, you can't help but "make out like a
bandit" when the average salary in India is taken into consideration. You
really need to understand what the general lifestyle on the receiving end
of the salary is to evaluate the "goodness" or "badness" of a pay
rate. Not an easy task.

Not bad? It really sucks compared to what I was making just a couple of
years ago. Of course, the weak economy is partly to blame, and the internet
bubble, which left the market with a glut of our kind of talent. Another
problem is the overvalued dollar. I bet a person can live like a king over
in India for $10K worth of rupees.
