Average Pay in India

[mcquiggd]

Thats ironic... most of the English companies Ive worked for complain they cant get skilled Indians....

One thing about working in Scotland - they just dont seem to have shipped in boatloads of FTVs.... very rarely see them here.

urm...Indian Pmips.....prehaps they could take us for a Curry.

At my current client we regularly get Indian sweets to share between us. Very nice. (Think about a group of slavering dogs fighting over a bowl of Chum and you get the picture.) But I'd rather have better job security, higher pay ...

But ... Indian companies are complaining that they cannot get skilled staff.

Fungus.

Whats the average salary for a recruitment agent in India.. ?

I get more and more calls every day from foreign chappies acting as agents... hopefully they'll soon outsource the lot.

Opens books....checks page 312...."

only have yourselves to blame

Ah, I think you've used that one a few times before DA.

In fact, I am convinced you seem to take a perverse pleasure in rolling it off at us IT contractors, as if somehow the reason why our jobs have migrated to alien shores is purely because we single-handedly installed the telecommunications infrastructure necessary to make it happen.

The reason jobs went off shore is because of shareholder and corporate greed. That was the driving force. The infrastructure was merely the vector that made it possible. The greed existed long before the infrastructure.

Telling us that we have ourselves to blame, is somewhat akin to telling an arms dealer that he is responsible for people dying. It's a fallacious argument, since the arms dealer is not the one pulling the trigger. He may be an accessory (through supply) to murder....but he ain't the murderer.

How so dodgy?

Is it cos we is money grabbing bastards?

Or is it cos we don't lick the arses of agents wot like the FTV's do?

Pray tell.

Personally they can shift the whole ******* lot to India lock stock and barrel.

Good riddance to the festering dog spew IT projects.

If any of you are pissed off that so much work has gone to India then you only have yourselves to blame

I would bet a lot of those guys come to London and get a job for 30k and realise that they wehre better off earning 5k in India than 30k in London.

Yes some do come to the UK, and no they are not worse off. They get free accommodation and can save lots. What gets me is that they cost as much as a UK worker, and yet UK companies employ them. Some are good, a few are very good, but many are mediocre, and a few are awful. The problem is that from a bean counter's perspective they look good on paper. They can get N workers for X months for a given number of gold coins.

They also get the chance to see another culture, and maybe appreciate India, or scarper and become a UK resident as often happens.

Colleagues with children are not encouraging their kids to go into IT as they consider that off-shoring has killed job prospects.

The figures dont mean diddly as the cost of living is no where near as bad as here in England.

Perhaps you already are.
Apparently some “large” contractor accountancy companies already outsource the work to India.
