Kevin Barnes has posted a FAQ for programmers about living in India on his blog, Code Craft. The questions covered in his FAQ are:
- How did you end up going to India?
- How much do jobs pay in India?
- How can you live with yourself for helping to move American jobs to India?
- What’s the cost of living? / How can people there live on so little?
- Can someone from the US get a job working in India at US wages?
- What’s the visa/tax situation like?
- What’s it like raising your kids in India?
- Aren’t Indian programmers better/worse than US ones?
- Don’t you hate … in India/Bangalore?
- How long will you stay in India?
“If you want a more artistic sense for my feelings about India,” writes Kevin, “read this or this.”
