It’s actually about 74 cents per hour assuming 9 hour work days and a 300 day year. Median Indian Income is about $1,977.29 as of March, 2018. In terms of Indian Rupees, that’s 69.33 Rupees per dollar, so that would be 137,085.52 Rupees a year. Edit: an Indian would need to work 323.09 days a year on 68 cents an hour, 9 hours a day to get that money.

This isn’t even a joke. I worked at a small company as an engineer and the CEO was a patent attorney. We had all the skill sets to write our own patents. We still sent our patent application writing to India and just reviewed it because it was more cost effective. You could have an entire team working on it for a month for same cost as one day of work here.

They pretty much give us ludicrous amount of accounting work that would take hours and sometimes even nightshifts to process but thankfully we managed to automate the whole thing reducing the workload in less than half an hour while still being paid a few months worth of salary, based on my country's standard, per clients.

So a company in the US has outsourced their jobs to us in Jamaica paying us under 3 usd an hour. I have outsourced all my work to Pradeep in India and I pay him 1 cent per day. I know I am paying too much, but he deserves it, he works really well.

@@theyoshi202 While it may not be criminal in most cases, when you work at most jobs you have what's called "at-will employment". It means that you and the company entered a contract that the company can terminate at any point for any (legal) reason. When you buy something at a store, that is a form of contract. The Facebook TOS reads like a contract as well. A contract includes: an offer, consideration, and acceptance. Consideration is the tricky one. It is something of value that each side expects to give up as their end of the contract. So, a company that hires you can reasonably expect that you will not share proprietary information, such as trade secrets, interal processes, and internal financial information. When you subcontract your own job, you are breaching this part of the contract. Not only can you be fired, it may bring litigation on your ass- especially if your work involves handling a client's sensitive information. Secretly subcontracting your own duties can also be fraudulent (criminal) for a number of reasons, especially the tax implications (including for your personal taxes, the organizations FICA tax liability, Obamacare, etc.) It's obviously a bad idea, but it can be reeeeally bad. Basically, you can be fired on the spot, potentially sued, and possibly even be prosecuted for fraud depending on what you did. There is civil law and criminal law. Breach of contract is civil. Fraud is criminal.

Years ago I laughed this off as a joke, but it wasn't until I became an operations manager that I realized it's not that unrealistic. I found a firm in India that was willing to do my systems maintenance and accounting work because the average income for their division is a fraction of my team's salary. To ensure the work is not just half-assed junk, I found an actuarial and auditing firm in China that would double-check their processes and numbers and reformat it for marketing, again because they were getting paid a fraction of what my team makes. I ended up doing about 3-4 hours of work every week to triple check their final submission and integrate it into my systems and was paid (and raised) at a normal growth rate. I have since started my own company that basically partners with overseas businesses looking for work at higher pay and market them to clients in this country looking to outsource. The system does the work for me once the algorithm and backup liaisons match companies together. I essentially make 6-7 figures (depending on total partnerships and clients) doing practically nothing. Strayed a bit from the concept of this video but still lol

Fun fact - You can outsource somebody to do all your undergraduate, masters and even PhD studies. You can hire actual PhD holders in Kenya and some other countries. (Fluent English speakers) They will do everything including research papers and very customized assignments. They do all your studies. You have fun and do your job. You graduate with a reasonable grade (dont be greedy) It will cost you a few thousand USD a year. Quite cheap. Their services are very popular in UK, US and AUS clients range from lazy or busy locals to foreign students who struggle with some programs or with time.

I'm CFO in a mid-sized company and I've never had an accounting class and I can barely do math. But I know how to email and text so outsourcing is easy for me. Also, I won't hire employees who are not willing to outsource. American kids are too temperamental and entitled. You can't rely on them so when they quit and you have to replace them, just make sure the new hire outsources to the same person and wa-la, you have continuity.
