That's right. Food and gas is cheaper back home (USA) than it is in India, where the cost of living is astronomical vis-a-vis the paycheck drawn by the average Indian. A per-item price comparison shows vegetables and meat are a lot cheaper

yeah, they are too late but do ask if they can beat the pay and benefits of your current position and dont tell your boss anything. Companies dont tell you when they downsize and give ya the pink slip do they?
