Need a Job? Move to India

Posted by michael on from the waves-of-immigrants-crossing-the-border dept.

WhoDaresWins writes "As U.S. jobs move abroad, more Americans are willing to work overseas like in India as per a CNN.com story. The story talks about many Americans and also Indians who are American citizens moving to India for work. This story should be an eye opener to people who feel Americans cannot work in India. With a booming economy there is a need for skilled professionals with years of experience in a western enconomy and industry. Best of all, job listings are available online." Thomas Friedman has a piece called The secret to India's success.

    IF they are willing to pay $40k in india, why not move to india and live like a king? Getting a visa may be a challenge but a few bucks in the right places can grease wheels.

    For $40k a year in india...you could have your own place, a full time maid,nanny,gardener and bollywood quality mistress.

    MAny of the indian programmers speak english and would more happily work for an American programmer who knows what they are doing and can teach them good programming than some boss who got the job because they are the big bosses golfing partner.
