So since many of my friends asked me questions that I suppose I had never thought of, here is a head on comparison of my work and quality of life in Germany vs. what I can expect in India...
Country/Metric | India | Germany | India/Germany(Rs. 60 = Eur. 1) |
| Minimum wage (Curr./day) | Rs. 80 (Eur. 1.33) | Eur. 60 | 1.3 (conversion rate: 0.02) |
| Work MAX per day | 8 | 8 | 1 |
| Working week | 5 or 6 | 5 | 1 or 1.2 |
| Asst. Prof. salary | Rs. 50,000 (Eur. 833) | Eur. 6,000 | 8.33 (0.14 ) |
| Cost of cup of tea/coffee (simplest possible) | Rs. 10 (Eur. 0.17) | Eur.1 | 10 (0.17) |
| Ratio Asst. Prof salary/TeaORCoffee | 5000 | 6000 | 0.8 |
| Ratio Asst. Prof salary/Min-wage | 625 | 100 | 6.25 |
