    US will have hard time getting students for Masters program (atleast from India now) , they will never make the cut for H1B wage

      Ayanokoji I worked for 5 years in India before doing my masters in USA, Im definitely paid higher and can quickly meet the minimum base pay criteria,
      Anyone who has worked for 5-10 years outside USA can easily reach the minimum base pay criteria compared to a new grad,
      This ruling does not address that issue, it encourages ppl to get as much experience/skills outside USA before applying for h1b visa hence skewing it towards older professionals

      Credit based system made much more sense (similar to Canada) where everything you have has weightage ( masters degree, work experience, skills set, compensation etc)

    Wonโ€™t this make it difficult for new college grads to get H1Bs?

      Everyone makes L2 base pay only expect for new grads at maybe bloomberg (they make $150k base pay so level 4)
      As I said new grad base salary falls in level 2 for most high paying companies mentioned above with base being around $120-130k -140k which is definitely level 2 (level 3 starts at $145k in bay area).

      How many high paying companies pay $145k+ in bay area for new grads? Very few.
      A lot of the compensation is equity based which companies can translate into base pay if appropriate time was given. This RSU/bonus structure has built the silicon valley and this is how talent is attracted to Bay area and Seattle where pay is competitive due to high paying jobs in terms of equity.

      I personally dislike the fact that there are industries that don't pay equity to their employees and just get H1b because they have met the base pay for their occupation.

      And no these doesn't bar witch because they can file for programmar analyst and what not and get the level 4 wages for these positions. There is no mechanism in place to check if WITCH or body shops will game the system.

      If it's a big issue then the big companies will just start to pay higher salaries with no RSUs for the new grad level and then the promo gets you RSUs but little to no salary raise. I doubt it will be a real issue for any major company.

    So this new regulation only benefits level 3 and 4? Being young/new grad (level 1/2, non WITCH, non FANG) doesnโ€™t mean that you less deserve it

      Life is not fair RealBezos. I genuinely hope you do get your visa and live your american dream. But please don't take that away from other new grads or hell even witch or Consultancies. The employees there are also trying to build their lives in US and have a better future for themselves and their families.
      Don't steal that away from them using your higher base.

      You and I should come to a conclusion that the best option is to expand the H1B cap. As you said it's pointless discussing here. I genuinely wish you luck and hope you get your H1B visa.

      Peace out โœŒ๏ธ
