Going rate for developers in India

What's the going rate for a good software developer in India?

C#, Java, Oracle, SQL Server sort of thing.

I'm getting quoted £22/hour, which isn't as "much cheapness" as I'd hoped, but I'm inclined to go for it because I know this chap's good.

& yes I know the risks and drawbacks, but I have managed Indian teams remotely before (but my client was paying for them directly) and can handle things well enough.

are you planning to work as a software developer in India or going to hire someone from there? the rate is quite good for someone working there.

Try Bangladesh. They're much cheaper.

The way things are going £22/hr will be more than a UK developer.

I believe that overall, when everything is taken into account, offshoring a project saves on average 15% over the equivalent onshore project.

I've found Eastern European companies to be much higher calibre and cheaper overall than India.

I've found Eastern European companies to be much higher calibre and cheaper overall than India.

This has been my experience as well when using developers from the Czech republic, Transylvania and Bangalore on the same project.

I'm that way inclined too.

I'm that way inclined too.

Are we talking wives or code here ??
