IT salary trend in India is something we Indian professionals working here in USA watch very closely. This gives us understanding of how things will shape up in future for IT outsourcing to India. This salary survey is taken from the website of a talent compensation data provider called PayScale. I am not sure if the data represents the true job market and compensation, but like any other survey provider, you can take it as a baseline data for guideline purposes.
I hear the discussion all the time about rising salaries for Software professionals in India, but if you look at the chart below, entry level programmers and software engineers get about 300,000 INR annual which converts to $7,000 per year. Most of these folks follow the steps and do the job but can't go beyond their job profile and usually do not have capacity to offer creative solutions to the problem. They work under the guidance of their team lead which as you can see earn double the salary. Now, how productive these entry level programmers and developers are compared to the same level here in USA, is a topic of interest.
One clear reason for outsourcing as we can see, the 8:1 salary ration for software engineers. IT jobs and processes that are repetitive in nature and can be done in steps are the first target for outsourcing and for these types of jobs 8 is to 1 math will always look lucrative. However, highly skilled IT jobs where Interpersonal skills, communication and teamwork are of utmost important, salary gap is not that much. That tells us something. Also most of these positions are occupied by the accomplished professionals who have gone back to their home country after working here for many years.
