Indians IT companies need t grow in mindset from Low cost to high value addition, this is what IBM doing, IBM and MS and other top companies surviving in US from almost 30 yrs in spite of Paying 100K USD salaries at min level, main problem is our IT companies is not able to come out of cheap labor mantra and still hanging with IT application and maintenance contracts, which is low level in value chain and out companies could not do really well in high end consulting, High end consulting is highly profitable and revenue generation opportunity but our IT biggies and greats don%u2019t want to pay high for high end consultants and quality never comes at cheap%u2026..we need to realize this.

Mr. Indian for your kind information, I have worked with IBM in past & according to me they are no different then just oppurtunist....by which I mean they try to grab each & every money spinning deal even if its a low end job like Data uploading...And as far as variable pay is concerned it depends on the individual performance as well as company's performance & is variable depending on the how much target is acheived....that's the reason it is called variable pay....

Hi Nandish, part of the deals some times even IBM need to accept low end work but at the end of the we can't compare IBM and HP with Indian IT companies, they are far far ahead in innovation and real development, also FYI IBM has various Line business units, may be you are in maintenance roles, intention is not to hurt u but IBM has many divisions in India do all the crap work and they do have very high end unitis
