Or the ultimate work-around, pay then the same and work them twice as hard. Boom, half the wage and nobody can tell!

How many of these consulting companies just have the most awful, toxic company culture imaginable? I don't think that's a coincidence - that's a purposefully engineered cost saving strategy.

That won't work as well as you think it does. This would come off as them being skilled enough to do the work in half the time an American would.

That said, consulting companies out of India are horrible, I don't think they'd be more productive even if they worked twice as hard.
