Implying something? Nah. Fact of life. If you are from the subcontinent then the local employer will say it a very good salary and you could live like a king in your home country.
Now, before you jump up & down, this is not my idea. I'm with you on this. One should get paid what one is worth, regardless of where they are from. But unfortunately, pragmatic Asians don't think that way. They will look at where you are from (what passport you are carrying) and the offers will be based on that knowledge and not where you have been as they reckon you will eventually take the money "home".
Likewise, everything you are not allowed to put on a CV in the USofA will be "required" to be divulged in the course of the review here. Race, religion, marital status, sexual preferences, gender, age and in some cases even looks are all fair game for local HR departments. In addition to having the requisite qualifications. Lots of stuff here are different than the USofA. Or India for that matter. Here, it's guaranteed that you will not be treated as royalty, PhD or not.
