To begin with I am talking about jobs in India...secondly..why your company is keeping..well..you cost $75/hour to your company..yes you work more, fast etc etc..u work what 2 locals can do (btw americans arnt stupid or dumb.i have come across real brainers )...that's why they r retaining you. they are spending 150k for 1 person doing the work for 2 ppl...now add 2 locals..if I go by what u said 100k (which i don't believe..as cost of a person is determined by what are his returns to the company) it would cost your company 200k...so still they r at a profit of 50k. I agree with what u said for China too...but if rupee falls...IT goes and so does manufacturing...then india and indians will be at the same place..hell...
