It's interesting how (according to these charts) Bengaluru alone has more software engineering openings than the entire USA, and NYC has much more tech jobs than SF, on par with Pune. This, and the absence of .NET technologies from the list (as noted elsewhere in the thread) makes me take this whole article with a large grain of salt.

> Bengaluru alone has more software engineering openings than the entire USA That wouldn't exactly be surprising IMHO.

    US: 77,000

    Brazil: 6,000
    Mexico: 4,000
    Aus & NZ: 2,000
    Eastern Africa: 300
    Western Africa: 500
    Southern Africa: 600
