Their CEO Rajesh Kumar then said that low-level jobs are being moved to lower-paying regions. The number of IT jobs remaining in Western Europe and the United States may have decreased, but their eligibility and complexity have increased. Regarding India's ranking change, he added:

"There is more evidence that India is moving up the value chain for skilled professionals. The cost advantage currently seen may not be the only growth driver in the future."

MyHiringClub.com completed this survey by directly consulting 10,000 companies around the world about the salaries of their IT practitioners. However, the relationship between salary and local purchasing power levels was not taken into account, making this survey lack a certain degree of rigor.
