People starting at $4K are the ones who work for consultancies like Infosys, Wipro, et al. There is a reason why they're paid so less. They're usually graduates from terrible engineering colleges who have no real engineering skills what so ever. They undergo a 6 month training period before they can even start working. My friends in Google India on the other hand make close to $50K/yr. My friends in Google MTV make $200K/yr. So the difference is 4x, not 100x. |

I'm guessing he's L3? SWE L3 averages 180K in Google.
My friend at Google is SWE L5 (which averages 350k), but he's at closer to 400K because Google's stock price appreciated considerably since he joined.

Regardless, $50K in India is actually quite high. Many, many large US tech companies are happy to pay peanuts. The average for a large tech company is probably between around $10K/yr to $20k/yr USD, which in my opinion is horrifically abysmal. (Not to mention, I know of companies that hire people in India's neighbor Pakistan, and they are paying them around $400 USD per month, i.e. less than $5K/yr.)
The numbers are frankly quite absurdly low.
