- dogma1138 10y agoThere's nothing wrong with working for Infosys. How many people you think are capable and want to work for Google?
- explainthisth 10y agoI'm not saying it's morally right or wrong. I'm just saying the set of people that get H1B visas will change, and the shift will be toward higher-end jobs.
- rhapsodic 10y ago> It should make it easier for Americans to get the jobs Infosys is hiring for at $70k, and harder for Americans to get jobs from Google at $250k. Why would it make a qualified American developer less attractive to Google?
- explainthisth 10y agoBecause it will become easier to import someone who is more qualified.
- rhapsodic 10y agoIt will be more expensive. How will it become more easier?
- explainthisth 10y agoBecause the visas are distributed by lottery, and the largest number of applications are filed by Isfosys-type spammers. People with >$130k jobs in SV are being denied due to the $70k body shops spamming the lottery. If the spam goes away, those non-spam applications become a more reliable proposition.
