FWIW: Much consulting is done at the $150/hour level in the US, particularly in Silicon Valley. You would be hard pressed to purchase a home in the Silicon Valley area, with a bedroom and yard for a kid, and in a good school district, for less than $1 million. After taxes, $150/hour comes to about $68/hour (state + federal come to ~55%). That ~14 years of work, assuming a 7% interest home loan, and your entire paycheck going to nothing but mortgage payements, with 0% property taxes, no home owner fees, and no maintenance costs (basically, it assumes both you and your wife getting about the same income for that period). Why, what does it cost for a 3 bedroom, 10 year old house in a good school district in India?
