Breaking: H1b visas given based on salary instead of lottery
https://mobile.twitter.com/NickMiroff/status/1275158386821271555 While we wait on the official info from the WH, here’s a source that mentions it.
No this will not fly because (a) private startups cannot hire and (b) nobody outside Bay area can hire
I like your username :)
True story bro
Would this be true for renewals where I140 already exists or is it just for new visas?
only for new ones
RIP startups!
This would be a problem for folks in non SW domain and for non- FAANG folks in SW domain. Maybe the senior level positions in all the industries might make a cut. It’d be tough for Junior/entry level engineers.
Then those engineers can get jobs in their home countries until they are talented enough to go to the US. There is definitely no shortage of junior engineers graduating in the US. Junior engineers are not talent they are just cheap labour. Basing H1B on salary is fucking amazing decision on Trump's part to be honest.
Junior engineers are not cheap labor. They are investment.
Headline: Bay Area saved by new EO!
Non-tech people to USCIS: Am I a joke to you?
Yea the drive to come to the US for a masters will decline, since fresh grads wont make the cut
fresh grads at FANG are making 200k$ straight out of college
Thats a strong possibility but not the norm
Universities about to go bankrupt lol
The whole international student Master's degree business model of non-top 10 universities will come to an abrupt end. I can see at least a few public universities with an over-reliance on international students for generating revenue struggling to make ends meet.
Post docs, hospital workers etc will be affected.
That looks so lame. That means only FAANG companies will get it and also people in very higher level will get it. How about entry level positions and except SW industry not many companies pay that TC. The people is WH dont know how anything works.
That literally looks like what Trump meant when he said: “In some cases, you have to have exclusions, you need them for big businesses where they have certain people that have been coming in for a long time” RIP consultancies and good fucking riddance. If shithole companies aren't paying FAANG TC maybe they should start paying FAANG TC.
How do you start defining exclusions? When you start defining exclusions it become hard to quantify and definitely salary is not one way to quantify.
