Lately, there have been a lot of hate spreading towards H1b Visa holders on Blind. Mainly because of several posts due to H1b application deadline and a few updates. For starters, I would break H1b Visa holders to two groups. 1] H1b Visa directly with a company (Google, Apple, startups and the like). They hire because of the skill and pay really well. 2) H1b Visa filed by consulting shop (TCS, Infosys and the like). They hire mainly because of cheap wage. What's your opinion on H1b Visa holders?

Gtfo here and MIGA ... I think it is time for india to grow a pair and show who the boss is.
Let’s start with you :) I can pay for your flight.
You see, this is what I find funny as an American. Indians always say “Hey, let’s all make India great!” But then nobody really follows through. It’s apparent that each Indian is secretly hoping other Indians will go back first so the H-1B lottery odds get better or make the GC queue shorter.
Love how the 2 MIGAs above are at such reputable organizations
I am with a direct company now, which hired me because of my technical as well as leadership skills (as they say) and my given track record with them as a consultant for a year through Infosys. I have seen unskilled and skilled people with both options.. and same goes for non-h1b employees
Wtf is a direct company I thought every company is direct
By direct company, I meant not as a consultant through a vendor, but a full time employee
Why would I hate anyone? Am I a republican?
@gtfoorgtfo - Dude it's the liberals who usually cry about asians taking their jobs. Shocking isn't it ?
In my experience, conservatives whine about it. Shocking isn't it?
Well, many/most people here are on visas and they hate each other...
The real reason for the hate is that is people are scared of competition. They mistakenly think every job taken by an h1b was a job they could have had if not for the visa program. There is need of increasing scrutiny on body shops and outsourcers, but the hate and current Uscis has gone well past that sadly
Your statement is a non-sequitur, h1b program was designed to bring in foreigners when no qualified Americans are present, there is no question of competing. No American should have to ever compete with foreigners.
The fact that you think that Americans have to even compete with H1B demonstrates that the program has completely lost its original intent. This is why Americans are upset, that our government does not work for us anymore.
Abolish the visa. Let the Indians go home and MIGA! India is the biggest loser in all this. Entire generation is gone - working for peanuts for another country.
Instead of making millions in India!
