Polka--I am not missing the wider point being made by some on this thread.
If an Indian and an American graduate with the same degree from the same university and with the same employment record and experience are being employed by the same company in Qatar to do the same job, but being paid grossly differently, I'd love to hear about the case.
But something tells me such examples are unheard of.
But my main point is this: employers have the right to offer whatever salary they want, just as prospective employees have the right to reject the offer. If you believe you are being undervalued, ask for a raise or work somewhere else. So long as you short-change yourself, others will too.
btw I agree with Mandi--huge differences in styles and quality of education between India and the US. That is why so many Indians are studying in Western universities but so few Westerners studying in India.
