You must be dense.</p>
<p>1) I say the US pays engineers here in other first world economies (ie: UK/Australia/Canada). I viewed this information as common knowledge (seriously, I thought everyone knew this).
2) Someone brings up India. [I then clearly state I’m referring to 1st world countries only.]
3) They ask for data comparing 1st world salaries.
4) I present the data.
5) We are still talking about how engineers in the US are underpaid as compared to India (in terms of the ratio between median income to engineer income). This comparison is stupid because engineers in India are paid more relative to their counterparts in Germany/Japan…which were the countries that the US was being compared to initially. Jesus.</p>
