RE: Results of STC India 2005 Salary Survey

["Katherine Hinchey" <khinchey -at- houston -dot- rr -dot- com>]

I am interested in more conversation about this. Perhaps our members in
India can help us interpret this data?

Section 27.1 provides this information:
A technical writer in India, with 0-2 years experience, makes an average
of INR 6306.
A technical writer in the US, with the same experience, makes an average
of USD 41690.

A technical writer in India, with 6-10 years experience, makes an
average of INR 16078.
A technical writer in the US, with the same experience, makes an average
of USD 62950.

What resources do you site to show that these are comparable incomes?
What standard of living does INR 6306 or INR 16078 provide in Chennai?
Bangalore? Pune?

Katherine

Looks comparable to the US with regard to property costs and relative
costs of living.
