- Hacking the Immigration System There's so many posts here arguing and complaining about the visa process and the immigration system in general.

- Employer ownership of GC queue TLDR; Employers buy quota ahead of time to file 140/485. Employer decides merit and who gets to file. Backlog generated within companies is employers problem.

- link How many of you think H-1B folk “steal” American jobs? Seriously. I am sick of MAGA idiots yammering all over about H-1B immigrants stealing jobs. Now, I do agree some outsourcing shops do visa fraud that needs to be curbed. We come here legally, pay taxes, buy houses made our life here for decades, support our communities and contribute to economy. Bu
- Obsessed with FB data scientist role! I really want to hear from FB data scientists! For some reason, I think working at FB as a data scientist would be really great for me.

- vote Data science in SWE role at FAANG I want to continue doing data science out of personal love for statistics and curiosity toward open world, research-oriented questions. (Undergrad-level math background, but no graduate degree - so academic/RS job is out of the question.) 1. Is this sustainable for career growth on SWE ladder (to r
