If by "basic experience of programming", you mean 10+ years of experience or a Stanford/MIT/Berkeley degree, and by "western world" you mean Silicon Valley (and a few other very select areas, all of them within the US), yeah, I agree.

Outside that, the number of decent opportunities you'll get as a developer will be too low for you to be picky.
