Gwach bro made the points:

"It is useless to compare someone making $200K a year in US and Rs 5lakhs in Nepal (I am sure it is only his pure salary, and I am sure he does consulting on side as other sources of income) because in US one earns in $$$ and spends in $$$, and in Nepal it is Rs to Rs.

Also quitting a job in World Bank to join Planning Comission in Nepal is not a bad deal since it just diversifies one's career portfolio and opens up doors for other opportunities, not being short sighted. It is like taking a bitter pill to be strong. I see that he is a pretty far sighted person and I do not see his moves as downgrade in his career in any way, as the interviewer is trying to portray purely comparing the salary levels."

divorceguy bro, के भनेको ? एउटा career development economist लाई planning commission को appointment मिल्दा गएन भने बरु बहूला कुकुरले टोकेको छ कि क्या हो भने हुन्छ | अल्लि मै हु भन्ने मान्छेले NPC मा सिधै Vice Chairman वा अर्थ मन्त्रालयमा सिधै chief economic advisor तक्लान , त्यो पनि ठिकै हो , तर अहिले निकै competition को जमाना छ \

अनि budhanilakhanta को slc board भने पछि नेपाली र अंग्रेजी एकदम parallel हुन्छ , अरु पनि तेस्तै मान्छे देखिएको छ बुधनिलाकण्ठ का हरु | कोहि कोहि चै भामत परेर आधी अंग्रेजी बोल्चन |
