Here's one for the underdog who's getting bashed left and right by our 'corporate-world visionaries'
Lets talk about the money.......6000 Rs for a month? Damn I knew people from BNKS who got A levels and were teaching tutoring classes and bagging almost 20K a month. That too without a bachelor's degree.I was offered to teach the TOEFL for Rs. 10K, with my high school education. That's 2hrs a day, 6 days a week. Hell when I wrote freelance articles for a national paper, I got Rs. 600 per article. And no I didn't jump through any hoops. And no I am not trying to brag here. I am pointing out the disparity in salary.
Bottom line: you were getting shitty pay.
Now all you capitalist folks don't start out with your Econ 101 baloney and market value.
I think if you were getting 6K or even 8K as a programmer, you were really getting ripped off, especially if you are working in a project for a European company. I know this since I am a programmer.
To the guy who said programmers are not engineers. Dude, I have an engineering degree and programming is as much design and analysis oriented as whatever the fu(k you think engineers do!
For outsourced programming jobs, the general rule of thumb is you get at least 20% of what a programmer here (in US) makes....the Indians working at one company i know earn 50% of what they would be paid here. Lets take 20% as the minimum and now 60K a year for a programmers in US. That's 12K USD a year...so easily 50K NRs a month.
I have heard that programmers can easily get 1K USD a month in India...And no they aren't guys with years of experience. And don't tell me he should have moved to India.
Regarding the original poster's salary......It's corporate slavery at its worse (or best) Hey what else can you do? File a lawsuit for voiding your verbal contract?
We know how fast the judiciary is in lawsuits. Sometimes it's public humiliation and only public humiliation in Nepal that discourages people from exploiting others.
Some of you folks dissing this guy here you have the balls..those over heated balls that have turned you impotent since you worked your ass off and climbed the corporate ladder in the US of A. Kudos to you...kudos to you telling this guy to face the real world. And how dare you do that while you break the law, going to ocean city when you were a student and working off campus on an F1 visa, taking 6 years to graduate and finally getting a job through consultancies coz your sorry ass couldn't land a good job and after years of 'slave work' now you've got some room to breath with your Green Card and you have to prove yourself that the real world is mean and cruel and everyone's sorry ass deserves to go through hell just because yours did?
And since your balls didn't fully recover now you are trying to man up from that eunuch state of which you won't recover from? If so, then I feel sorry for you than I feel for Chirayu.
Alright, my rant is over...I will take the bullet one at a time.
