A recent article in The Economic Times reports that Indian IT workers are among the 4th worst paid globally (and 3rd in Asia). This comparison should be taken with a pinch of salt because the salary is compared in US dollars and the buying power per dollar varies wildly among the nations compared.

Vietnam is the lowest payer followed by Bulgaria and Philippines. Switzerland pays the best money to IT professionals followed by Denmark and Belgium, according to this survey by Mercer.
