Thanks for the info! And yes we can find $3000 people in India, very easy, but they all work for us already in our branch of the company (we have them all around the world) and any secondment goes through the regional office (i.e. if you want to get our people from India, you should go through our Indian office).
I am NOT saying there are no specialists in India who are highly trained, experienced and worth much more than US$3000. All I am saying that for every one such quality employee, there are hundreds of people with equal qualifications only too happy to flip at US$3000. That's all.
