F1 vs H1B vs GC/Citizen - Is new hire offer different?
As title says, all things considered equal is the new hire offer (TC) different for F1 as compared to GC holder? Is it relatively easier to get an offer if you have GC compared to when you only have F1/H1B? I know some good companies that outright reject F1 or prospective H1B sponsor seeking applicants.
According to law, the salary for non-citizen is always higher or equal to average salary of that position.
Big tech will hire you regardless. Their biggest issue is finding the right candidates. An additional 10k in immigration related costs is peanuts to them in the long run. If the offers are different it's because immigrants often don't know or won't negotiate the offer. Transparency in pay bands will go a long way in reducing this. Smaller companies are more likely to reject candidates on F1 or H1B as they don't want to deal with immigration complications and bear the additional cost. What of they hire the F1 and he has to go back because the didn't win the H1 lottery?
This makes a lot of sense. AirBnB rejected me after I completed their coding assignment and passed all test cases. I was on F1 at the time. Guess they didn’t want to take chances on a student.
Cannot legally be perceived as different. You'd end up in the same level anyways.
Discriminate against non citizens is ok? H1b itself is a discrimination.
I'm talking about the actual pay. Nothing else.
