I'm aware; I was working under the assumption that he'd want decent wages even though he is India because 1) he has expensive medical things to pay for and 2) because he wants a stable income for 5-6 years, seemingly something salaried or professional-level.

I wanted to point out that it would be especially hard to him to get good rates on these sites, since if someone is willing to pay a respectable wage, they usually don't want to use an offshore developer.
