Actually, this thread is not limited to Japan, but applies to whereever you may find yourself toiling for a living...
This
place got slashdotted. It is a social network that lets the users transparently compare salaries. Unfortunately, at beta level, it won't let me contribute my present salary information of my job in Sapporo...
But this prompts me to ask: Just why should the salaries for software development be so low in Japan? What is it about the IT biz in Japan that makes the intersection of supply vis a vis demand for coders so low? And what is the negative impact of this trend in Japan to outsource development to China and India?
