In addition, experienced highly skilled domestic workers are being hired less and less, as the more expensive option compared to the H1B workforce. And a Computerworld report from 2017 said that Apple was able to pay H1B visa holders as low as just over $50,000 a year – in an industry where the average was $93,000. https://www.google.com/amp/s/reclaimthenet.org/silicon-valley-hib-visas-institutional-slavery/amp/
i would love to a be slave at G and FB. it would probably double my TC
They use h1b to work overtime and work hard. Otherwise, you will get a low performance rating. Once you are forced to leave, your visa status will be gone and you lose everything in the America, your house, your car, etc.
I believe it’s for contractors from services companies like Tcs, Accenture, etc, not for direct swe hires
The H1B visa scheme that the Unites States introduced in 1990 to allow companies to bring in highly skilled foreign workers who were otherwise unavailable in the domestic labor market, We are all know this is not the truth today?
disagree.
They should read what slavery definition is.
Conclusion : h1b needs to be abolished
Make India Great
Thanks to President Donald J Trump for trying to restore/ fix the broken system, Great President!
This is a complete bullshit. Nobody cares and, most likely, nobody on your team even know your immigration status unless you tell them.
Your manager/HR knows, and that is what matters.
Also, Google will only ask about your employment status after you have already received and accepted an offer. They can't low-ball H1Bs as they don't know who will be on H1B at offer time. Complete bullshit.
Lol you have no idea. Both fb and Google ask for immigration details in the first recruiter call. They send out a form we have to fill up with all the details. They say it's for immigration purposes. I don't think they try to low ball but many other companies do. And they make their visa workers work harder and compromise on pay, work timings, and promotions.
For experienced SWEs? I don't think so. I was hired from overseas and nobody asked about my immigration details until weeks after I accepted the offer.
I know slavery is a very strong word but it does allow for some degree of exploitation. If someone who hired you knows that you're not going to be able to just quit (without seriously disrupting life, family etc) he might push a little harder.
Slavery? who is forcing you?
Did you read the article? Granted, “slavery” is too strong a word for this; “indentured servitude” is more accurate. “The fact that foreign workers depend on continued employment to avoid deportation means that they will accept working conditions and treatment by managers that US workers, with incomparably greater job options, never would.”
Read this again and again until you get it. The H1B visa scheme that the Unites States introduced in 1990 to allow companies to bring in highly skilled foreign workers who were otherwise unavailable in the domestic labor market,
