Re: Hiring staff in India may not be worth it

I don't know WTF you guys are talking about? With 7 years of IT exp I am getting $24k now here in India. I know companies at Indore that have programmers working for as low as $2.5k. You are comparing bunch of demanding IITians with other (probably as bright if not more) graduates. How many IITians does India produce every year compared to Engineers/Computer Graduates from other schools? Shitty rumors!

Re: Unpaid Internships and Hill Experience

As a college student in DC, I have seen this idea in action more times than I can count. Last summer, I worked 80 hours a week - 40 at a non-profit, unpaid internship at a progressive organization, and 40 hours retail. It was exhausting, and, to be frank, not worth it. I am willing to donate my life to changing this country and helping the world, but I'm not willing to kill myself unnecessarily doing it. While working hard to enfranchise voters and other things, a friend worked mobilizing young conservatives at $17.00/hour, 40 hours a week.

I'm not trying to sounds like a martyr; I could have made another decision or gone home for the summer or something else. But it is so frustrating when I want to do good and simply can't because I'm poor, both within and without my student context.
