I think this company should look at the market rates. I am a developer at UK who hails from Chennai. The minimum salary at any company for an fresher is around Rs.8000, you will not get quality if you do not pay programmers. You should not forget that most of the top hiring companies in India pay between Rs.10000 and Rs.18,000 for a fresher. Most of the foreign companies and small Indian companies should change their mind set that they can hire programmers in India for less money, they should come to know that programmers will be committed, will produce new concepts, will learn new technologies and product quality codes only if their employers pay them well.
Low salaries

I think that you are pretty misinformed, the people we have hired now tell us that they are pretty happy with our salaries and that we pay more then most other companies. They also indicate to me, that we spend most time training the new people and dont put them immediately on new projects.
But anyway not to go in a debate, you are always free to have your own opinion.

Gianni

I'm struggling to get these conversions into Great British Pounds sterling unless the calculation I've done really are as low paid as it looks... Freshers in the UK can start on anything from 14,000 GBP upwards (often around the 18,000 mark)... of course you soon move up. Could you please give some rough ideas of how these rates compare?

.... I give up trying to calculate this lol.....
3000/75 = 40 GBP / month
40 * 12 = 480 GBP / yr
I mean, I know it's not the UK but I've obviously calculated that wrong
Good luck anyway

50.000 rs and 100.000 rs a month.
Is that supposed to be a comma, or is it 50 and 100?

The life you get at 1000 pounds per month is the same as getting Rs.15000(190 pounds) per month in India

That would make the lowest of these jobs (3000rs) the equivalent of living in the UK on £200/month. Approximately the same as the UK minimum wage (£5.15 * 37.5 hours). Doesn't sound completely unreasonable .. although I'd hate to see any code a person on that amount would be writing .. I've always been of the opinion that you get what you pay for.

Situation is different in India, where parents give money for children until they good jobs. In India, most of the companies offer low pay for freshers or for people until they get atleast one year of experience. Onion2k, it is exactly the same life as 200pounds. It would be enough for daily travel, shared room rent & part of monthly food expenses. You know every year in my state alone, there are more than a 100,000 people graduating every year.

Company's also take care of a large part of the training and development of employees, of the people we have hired until now we have and are invested 75% or more of their time in the beginning in education and training. Thats one of the advantages that the Indian software engineer has above the Western one, in countries like Holland software engineers are expected to become productive much sooner and thus have a lesser change to get a adjustment and on the job training period.
