Today's business policies and procedures are all drafted, implemented and monitored by people from the west. Whereas, people from third world countries have to learn these norms and standards when they land in international scenarios from the scratch.

This does not mean that people from east don't work hard. They do. But then there is a difference between developers and those who follow.

That is why you see westerners enjoying a better salary and status as compared to people from east.

Enough said :) Over and out ! Peace!
