Hello there, I will have a discussion in a few days and I need to know what is the typical salary for an Indian Programmer Junior/Senior etc in Rupies or US$ I would like to know specially the numbers from Bangalore, Durgapur and maybe Assam (I hope I spelled this correct)
I may be a little off, but .NET developers with 3-6 years experience are paid anything from INR 35,000 to INR 100,000 per month (currently 1 USD = 41 INR). You may be surprised at the wide range, but that's how salaries are in India. Typically, if the candidate is any good, he'll ask for a salary at the higher end of that range.

Think not how much Indian programmers go for, rather think about the additional cost of designing, specifying, communication, managing, testing, reworking, and re-doing the work. And no, this is not to fault Indian programmers or to say that Indian programmers are bad. Indeed, it's the first five steps that are the crucial steps to preventing reworking/re-doing. But nobody does the first 5 steps. Marc

Sure is, i have noticed that with personal project I often miss designing and getting a good solid spec down. that’s the job of management to ensure that the 5 steps are done and kept to. well said and definitely true.

Microsoft does that I'd say :-) Their 2nd biggest campus after Redmond is in Hyderabad, India.

After all the articles you've written and a book, I'm surprised you still think Microsoft does those first 5 steps. I suppose they do them, but after 20 years experience, I don't think they do them well. But that's the nature of big software houses. The knowledge tends to stay compartmentalized, and each new project either a new manager or a manager that wants to try something new. I wonder how many Microsoft managers have fallen for XP or Agile screwupologies. Marc

:| this discussion about MS is kind of boring. Heard this a million times with more or less creativity depending on the writer. Think about the world of computing 15-20 years ago and you'd really would not to go back there!!!
I agree.

Aside from slightly better IDE's, not much has changed software wise, be it MS, Unix, or anyone else. Many of the same, stupid, sloppy mistakes that could/would be prevented by the steps Marc outlined are still being made today. People just don't give a damn.

Universally true, I'd say.
I'm largely language agnostic
After a while they all bug me :doh:

One issue I always wondered about is responsibility. Here in the USA we have different legal actions that we can use if deals go bad or a product does harm, but I would asusme there is not much you could do in those situations if you offshore.
