For IBM workers, a job in India

Read the entire CSM article. An excerpt:

The IBM offer hints at a future where it’s not just skilled Indians who might have to travel halfway around the globe for a job. It’s likely that more American job seekers will have to think globally, say analysts, and the experiences of Americans who have taken jobs with companies here say it’s not something to fear.

“I was making six figures when I left the States. I’m making six figures here – in rupees,” laughs Jeanne Heydecker, a marketing executive now living outside of Delhi and working at her third Indian company. The salary for this single mother actually translates to roughly $50,000 a year. But it would be a mistake to suppose her quality of life has gone down.

A very enlightening one again I would say! =)
Now when I go back for a holiday I would see a few yankee faces on the streets!
As Russel Peters says, "the world is mixing".

Keep up the good work!
