Re: RSA Security Hiring Announcement

> The Boston Globe article that I read quoted the company as saying that they could not find enough talented programmers in the U.S.

Yes, may be they could not find enough talented programmers in the U.S.
If you can have 5 guys working for the price of one, and em 5 are not
so bad as the good one is good....I think it is indeed wise to hire
them

And as for guys working at " 5 cents a day here....Where the hell did
you read that?

The thing is what $ translates into here. A avg Higher Middle Income
Group Fellow earns around 75K Indian Rupees a month. Thats around $
1400. And that 75K here can get you a higher standard of life than $
5000 pm in the U.S.

And for that 75K you can get an equally good (If not better) programmer
here in India.

A practical example...My Bachelor's Degree in Engg here costs my folks
around INR 150,000 here pa (Food, Clothing, Lodging, Booze, Grass...All
included :) ) No scholarships and all.

Now INR 150,000 is what, $ 2700 or less! And thats just it. Things are
a lot cheaper here. You get better talent for lesser buck. And why
would any organization lose on such an opportunity?
