I have a tentative offer for a job as an instructional designer in Udaipur, Rajasthan. I don't know what perks, if any, are included at this point, but the recruiter said I should expect to make 1/10th to 1/12th of the salary I would be paid for this type of work in the US. Since I would make between $50k and $70k in the US for this work, he is essentially telling me I would only make the equivalent of $5k to $7k USD doing the same work in Udaipur. At the high end, this would equal about 375,000 rupees. Does this sound accurate, in terms of his estimation of my salary needs in Udaipur?
