Do engineers get paid more in India then in America?
102234
In absolute $ amount, the wages are higher in the US for the same job. But money has more buying power in India, for the time being. So, in that sense, one can argue that an engineer in India has a better life than an engineer in the US. It all depends on the individual case.

Because inexpensive talent in software engineers is being found all over the world including India and Russia and also developing third world nations we're likely to see an emergence of Software Companies growing to compete with the handful of dominant American companies.  We're also likely to see changes in the standards around development because right now it's still difficult to contract out development of software to these developing countries and still receive a product that is worthwhile to go to market with that doesn't create more problems than it solves.  I think it will get better though.

India is known to be the best in the world in programming.\n\nIn the software enigneering aspect, and in the software world, We rate countries on how well they take programming in a standard and more theoretical aspect.\n\nIndia is ranked #1, they follow all the software engineering aspects very precisley.. \n\nUSA isn't even close to them. Casue people in USA don't follow guidelines in workforce.\n\nIT is a debateable matter, but India has hte brightest and best programing teams in the world, Thats why they get programmers from there. \n\nTake a look in any softawre engineering book , and they will say India is very high in their profile.\n\n\nFor your information, I am talking about companies not kids and kiddie scripties....\n\nI am ranking companies. I am not ranking indians themselves. The indian companies (big ones) Are known to be good. The small startup 15 yearolds who think they know how to program are pure bs!

10 lacs per annum, One of my freind worked In Cisco at US, they offered him 60% of salary what he use to get in US for their Indian office. So this formula may make Your vision clear.

Americans can make things very well.  In fact, too well.  We can make things so well, that for us to demand higher pay is totally justifiable.  However, many companies are not willing to pay these higher labor costs, and so go to places like China.  However, the United States is still a major hub of technological innovation and economic efficiency, something the Chinese are still trying to master.  A purely text-book answer to your question is that the Chinese have a comparative economic advantage over the United States for the goods that you're talking about (in a very watered-down definition, they can make it 'cheaper').  However, it is important to keep a global perspective on such a macroeconomic problem.  Many European countries (whom rarely are targeted in popular 'Buy American' campaigns) equally blame the United States for 'dumping' electronics, the Canadians are up-in-arms over our lumber tarrifs and the Austrialians are less than pleased with our iron-fisted grip over the governing body of the Internet.  I would HIGHLY suggest you peruse an upper-level economics text (at least a college-level introductory macroeconomics book).  There is also a collection of thought-provoking essasys on this issue in the book 'Second Thoughts' from a variety of authors and view points.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) surveys occupational salaries in the US.  The following table shows US engineering employment and median annual US salary by engineering specialty:\n\nPetroleum Engineers (14,860) $97,350 \nNuclear Engineers (14,290) $90,690 \nComputer Hardware Engineers (78,580) $87,170 \nAerospace Engineers (81,100) $85,450 \nSystems Software Engineers (320,720) $84,310\nElectronics Engineers (130,050) $79,990 \nApplications Software Engineers (455,980) $79,540\nChemical Engineers (27,550) $79,230 \nElectrical Engineers (144,920) $76,060 \nBiomedical Engineers (11,660) $75,380 \nMining and Geological Engineers (5,680) $75,070 \nMarine Engineers and Naval Architects (6,550) $74,320 \nMaterials Engineers (20,950) $71,390 \nEnvironmental Engineers (50,140) $70,720 \nMechanical Engineers (220,750) $70,000 \nCivil Engineers (229,700) $69,480 \nIndustrial Engineers (191,640) $68,500 \nHealth and Safety Engineers (25,330) $67,240 \nAgricultural Engineers (3,170) $66,370\n\nIn general, licensed engineers make more money than non-licensed engineers.  (In my office, licensed engineers average about $15,000 more per year than non-licensed engineers.)  Many engineering jobs either require a PE or require a PE to advance.  (I work as a trial engineer and expert witness, and my job absolutely requires a PE license.)\n\n- An elderly Electrical PE\n\nPS - Get licensed by all means.  The longer you wait, the harder it is to pass the exams.  Your kids can help you study for the exams.  (My grandkids are a great help.)  A PE also helps bridge employment gaps (like yours).  A PE demonstrates your commitment to your career.  (Depending on your engineering specialty, a PE license with a bachelors degree is roughly equal to a masters degree without a license.)

India. There must be a good reason other companies are heading there. Low labor cost, many people with computer degrees, etc.

Just to clear up the misconception the first answerer is laboring under --\n\nCollege professors with Ph.D.s aren't getting paid jack either.\n\nAnd one more correction.  The median family income in the US in 2004 was $43,200.  That means 50% of all American families make above this figure, and 50% make below this figure.

I believe so. I am a computer engineer and the year I graduated from college computer engineers had one of the highest average starting salaraes (2004). 10k more than Computer Science. As a computer engineer you have many more options that a strict computer scientist, or a strict electrical engineer.

You shouldn't have any problems getting an IT job IN INDIA.  Most of our American jobs are going to China and India.  Wouldn't that be ironic if you got a job here in America and all of a sudden it were outsourced to India.

This depends what kind of engineers. This can range from 40K annual to over 100K annual depending the field they work in, and the experience they have. For example an IT Eng doesn't makes about 35-40K on entry level, where as an E-Eng makes about 10K more on the same level.

Probably the fact that they can stay in India if they want. Plus there are more jobs open to them because the software companies can get them to work for less money.

Is this a question, or a resume? As far as outsourcing to India, what a joke, thats why the economy is going to hell. shipping our jobs overseas--why pay $20 an hour when you can outsource to India for 20 cents

they have colleges is india? lol just kidding...but american ones are better?
