For Indian developers that's above average pay, and HCL has a heavy Indian presence.

Prices for developers outside of the US and Europe are actually quite low, and part of the reason is the low costs in other countries that let companies get away with paying less, and another part is that there's a lot of engineers available.

Even if the average engineer is not as good, there's so many engineers in India that companies have a huge candidate pool from just the above average ones.

I'd say it's mainly just the US, from my experience (UK outside of london) developer salaries in Europe are much lower than the US.

This is, in large part, because the cry of "fine I'll go work in silicon valley" doesn't work in Europe (because H1B visas are a bitch to get).
