The Indian IT industry is expected to grow further at a much faster rate. This salary cut is just a hiccup that the Indian IT industry has faced. And for all those non IT guys who think IT has increased the gap between the rich and the poor, lemme tell you that even this discussion board that u r using...sab IT ki meherbani hai....n so is the internet banking, ATM facility...any computerised system. Dont feel jealous of software engineers and IT guys, just because they r getting paid more. Even we software professionals have to slog really hard....at the sake of our own health. If the IT industry stops, India will come to a halt. In today's date, a US based software engineer earns USD 6000 per month, which amounts to Rs.2,40000 per month. If the rupee further appreciates, at some time....INR and dollar will be equal...doesnt that mean the salary of an IT professional(fresher) will increase from Rs.20000 to sky high numbers?? Think people, think. And stop feeling jealous. Dont be sadists!!!!!

Dear abhnav and deepak khare, please type ULTIMATE AMERICAN DOLLAR COLLAPSE YOUTUBE in google and see the video. Even then if you feel bringing US dollars as forex into the country is a contribution to india then check your saneness

Do WE remember those days when a Business Aanalyst from IIM C was hired by Infosys for 7 lacs just to maintain their brand status .Disd they think that what analysis a fresher will do who has always worked on simulations and hypothetical case studies.Did they think about other empoloyees and their family ....Did tyhey plan for rainy days ahead .NOOOO they were just busy in melting money in Y2K and DotCom and throwing it in IIM and IIT's to maintain their cosmetic prestige. I have taken infy as an example but the case was same with almost all the IT companies who are shaken by the recession and falling price of Dollars today as they have not foreseen bad days and conceeded to the ploy of the racquet of IIM graduates in everycompany where the Alumni forces the Org to throw exhorbitant salaries to their juniors in the campus thus maintaining a "Khud bhi Khao dusre ko bhi khilao policy".But have they ever done Job Evaluation as to what potential that function has ..vis a vis the market scenerio. Anybody can perform in favourable markets or when there is substantial water beneath the ground .But the supremacy is when there is no Water underneath the ground and one sustains the thirst and doesnt give the Lame excuse of wrong Policy and Dry Market.
