India, China EEs eye better opportunities
|
India and China engineers want more#&8212;more money, more societal recognition, higher positions at their employers. And they want to establish their own companies, too, conceivably to compete with their onetime employers. Some of those wishes are already being granted, according to the 2009 EE Times Global Salary & Opinion Survey. Salaries for engineers in China and India have risen strongly over the past five years, at a faster clip than for their counterparts in Europe, Japan and North America. Almost half of the respondents to our survey in China and about 40 per cent of those in India said their annual salaries are now much higher or slightly higher than they were five years ago, vs. the 34 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively, so reporting in Europe and North America.
