to stay within recommended ranges is an assault? that's bit of stretch . One does not have to take the offer. I won't disagree they low ball ya but it is still in the range. I'll tell ya , this my own experience, so take it with a grain of salt- Indians tend to be terrible salary negotiators.
Here is an example for you - say you work in NYC - the minimum wage for H1b I think now is $50000. a developer in NYC, if he is a direct employee, commands $100,000 minimum or per hour $65 if he is a contractor - do you think the Indian consulting companies offers $100,000 for its employees? and if they offer even $60,000 and especially if the employee is married - what kind of lifestyle can he manage even if he lives in NJ or Stamford and travels to NYC?
