  • H1B is just corporations trying to drive down tech wages. Things is, the “skilled workers” they get from other countries are often unskilled who just learn as best they can on the job. I deal with one of the big companies that supplies these workers and the vast majority of their personnel are “bodies.” You may have 1-2 fairly skilled people leading the team while the rest are folks who can follow a script if it’s written well enough… Zero critical thinking or depth of knowledge.

    While the short term may seem beneficial on paper, you get what you pay for. You can’t fake your way without longer term problems showing up.

    It’s also another form of job exporting like the manufacturing jobs that corporations got rid of, and we know what that did to the US.

    I’m good with a massive reduction on H1B.
