I think it is a useless debate who gets paid what and why...end of the day, if talking of only monetary gains (though there can be other considerations specific to individuals), I found the offer acceptable and so I came here ...to cry foul after coming here and knowing things isn't right IMO. However, stereotyping that everyone who came from west definitely had a better life and whoever from India (or any other Asian country) definitely had a bad life is also not right. Same goes for skill set. We all are here for our own individual reasons, why get carried away by useless comparisons and feel miserable about ourselves and create unpleasantness.
