20 years ago when the first wave of outsourcing to India happened, a lot of the engineers there were not great. Nowadays there are amazing engineers in India also. They do know what they are worth though, so you cannot low ball them. But they are still working for quite a bit less than Bay Area folks.

My experience is that qualified engineers in overseas markets are not significantly cheaper than American engineers when all costs are factored in.
