Serious question - how well are b4/MBB offshore consultants paid compared to the rest of their countries ? I genuinely feel guilty making the offshore team work odd hours and do tons of grunt work

My girlfriends family is Indian and I’ve talked to formerly offshore now onshore people. The quality of life in India is significantly better on their offshore salaries than their American salaries. As far as CoL they live better in India than HCOL cities here on our salaries at least at the <Manager level. My girlfriends mom who’s Indian was telling me that a lot of people who work these jobs live at home or have family wealth so they don’t need to struggle like Americans do at the entry level.

Depends on your choices. You got to star bucks you get a drink for 300 rupees which is around 4$ 🤣.

But 300 rupees in general is a lot itself. Can’t always have a direct conversion comparison

I can speak for india. For the hours they work, salaries are never good enough

Please remember whatever their quality of life or assumed family wealth or living situation they work very hard to support us and a genuine thank you to them really goes a long way and means a lot!

It’s okay bc they’re used to being poor

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?
