So you want to hire somebody for less than ~ $20 per hour. And you expect the quality of $200 per hour experienced developer.

Why do you forget that the the person you hire gets around 10$ to 40$ PER DAY.

The #$ are being consumed in between by the contract making companies(aka - the outsourcing companies) .

Agreed that you hire at $20 per hour , and $10 per hour is quite good money in Indian Conditions , but the engineer gets $10 per day or even less.

The rest of the money is consumed by the CEO and the greedy non Engineers in the company.

Would that not demotivate anyone?

You really want an engineer to work out legacy code at 15$ PER DAY??

It's not about The American and The Indian -

It's about non technical management of both companies - The American and Indian.

The American 's company management wants to save cost and The Indian Outsourcing Company wants to milk out the cost.

Who suffers?

It's the technical people who suffer - on both sides.

To all American Companies - Please stop outsourcing via Some Other body shop like TCS,WIPRO,INFOSYS -

Open up your own offices in India and hire people. You would see the difference in motivation
