Why should that be the goal? Why $300k? That’s an enormous amount of money.

Also, the labour market is far wider than just India.

That’s an incredibly patronising take. I know that many programmers take higher relative income and freedom in lieu of a higher absolute income and the lifestyle typically associated with it.

Of course those people would rather take the $300k if they could work anywhere. That’s obvious. But who is offering that? Not FAANG, evidently.
