Truly, I have a more optimistic view of normal people.

And we're not talking about choosing to work for Google, or, sorry, no food on the table tonight.

[truth_]

Upper middle class people from high GDP countries do have the choice. There are many opportunities where a talented individual will make more than enough.

But what about people from countries like India? Talented people will jump in in a heartbeat. And I have never ever known any person who has turned down Google or Facebook's offer with US/EU posting. Even people coming from _very_ privileged families.

Knowing India, this is justified to me.
