Tisa, Thanks for attaching the interesting article. ChemicalX, what I would say on your low pay issue is. Nepalese IT companies pay less not because they don’t want to pay. Their client is very narrow (mostly Nepalese of Nepal) who don’t prefer higher for service, so the company has low revenue. That’s why what I feel is that it is essential to have international projects to be developed in Nepal, which will give good revenue to the company and eventually to its employees. This is what this Uruguayan guy in the above article did. There are few companies like D2Hawyakene in Nepal who are going excellent job. People working here get very smart salary and better future opportunities. I think a dozen of such companies can make a good change not only in the earning of its employees but also will provide a level of confidence to prospective international companies who would like to come to Nepal for investment. But the big questions here is – are these companies getting better infrastructure facilities and stable environment. I happen to hear that D2Hawyakene was planning to shift its office from Nepal, following long term political disturbance (curfew and all) during the March-April 2006. Thank god they didn’t move. Please keep on providing your inputs. LOVE NEPAL ALWAYS. :)
