TC : 350k USD YOE : 4.5 (almost). Context : I was against this idea because I didn't see the point of spending thousands to stay desperately for another H1b attempt on lottery again. It's a stupid system to pick talent based on lottery but it seems like it might be wage based next year, in which...Read more
