Average Salary In India

So is there any downside for an American with an income of $40,000+ moving to india? seems like I'd be able to live like a king there. Whats the catch?

 

Simple catch - India isnt America!

Theres a totally different culture here and anything considered normal by an american may be abnormal here.
Secondly, you might find the horrible infrastructure very irritating and red-tapism and corruption might get you pulling your hair out.

 

what is "red-tapism".

I think I could handle visiting there for a month or two. Sounds like a lot of fun.

 

Your welcome to visit here. Just remember this

1. Dont use your left hand while eating food

2. W/E you do DONT kiss an indian woman in public

 

Why that so ?

True ,Don't even think to do that

Wikipedia defines red tape as

It is called "babudom" in India....in fact, India is considered to be one of the most difficult places to do business in.

 

economy dose not realy run on salary, there are other factors included, like the inflation etc! don't think that 1$ = 40 Inr etc! is great! as this dose not explains anything!

in india, the salary is less and so is expense! in other countries salary and cost of living both are high, so it balances everthing!

out sourcing is not all that cheap! as there not too many people who know internet or such types of jobs, so they can't really do content writing or paid posting stuffs! and the people who do and do such work, always charge the right price!

hey, myra, what have you done to your avatar!

anyways! a cafe coffee day, coffee costs $1 arround! what dose it costs in your country, must be more than this!

one of my friend earns about $5000 and another earns $50000 a month, both of them are business men and they are pretty rich! but then poor people in india don't earn much, and yes some of them earn less then $1 a day!!

people in villages dose earn $1 or less, but then they are not interested in money of facilities, they lead a disease free life, and die at the age of 80-90 years of a healthy life! so money is not important to them, all that is important is natural life! and in india there are plenty of them!
cheers!

Now I know I've missed loads of countries out, so I apologise to all the DP members who I didn't get the information for
But you can get the information easily from the bbc site eg Thailand

 

I agree,but still there a lot of pubs and other places where u can hook it up with indian girl.

 

Yes, I just said dont do it publicly.
You know about the Richard Gere Episode..

 

How much is all this in Bender Dollars?

Col

 

Richard Gere epiosode!!! how can i forget that,because of this kiss..The Aids awarness programe has reached millions of people all over the world...other wise it would be a limited to only those who were present there......Well done Gere ...

 

Cost living is also important for salary.. if any country has salary per month 5000USD and for living if tats 4000$(only for basic needs) that time tat 5000 is also a cheap salary... so salary should also be a factor with living cost of tat place..

 

So that was the funda behind the kiss?
He wasted some time with jail, courts etc., atleast others who visit india could save all that hassle and time xD

 

To consider cost of living, one can look at the PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) figures.

In India per capita income is $3200 per year after adjusting for PPP.

It means at an average, an Indian can afford to live in same manner as that of a US citizen with $3200 annual income...or $266 per month.

 

Also there are a lot of entrepreneurs in india they have farms etc

 

Well Indians workrs earn $4 to $5 per hours in normal company while in IT they earned $15+ per hours.

 

Around Rs. 35,000.

 

You are most welcome !! You should really visit India. We have lovely places here and you wont have any problem.

 

Trust me, America can be just as bad.
