We should replace the lottery with prioritization ordered by salary. Purpose of the program is to fill high skill roles - companies should have to put their money where their mouth is. -US citizen
Not all companies pay top dollar but there are many smart people working for less wages in small companies. Your proposal would just become a gift to FAANG companies.
Trump's plan was to establish 3 or 4 tiers for each profession in each geological regions, using DoL data. It is not going to be a FAANG only visa.
Good idea. I see the logic in it. It stops being a source of cheap labour but "specialised" with better pay. In fact, it would motivate citizens to update their skills as these roles pay more
Post seems to be fine but you don’t have to tell you are citizen. I tell you it’s pain in the neck to hold US passport. Canada passport is way better that you don’t need to report world income, better health care unlike Medicare in the US with many restrictions. in summary, 20-45 stay in the US and retire in Canada with 4% rule
OP being us citizen is relevant. U.S. immigration policy is a decision for us citizens, not really for non-citizens to decide.
Yeah because we’re all sitting and drafting laws here. It’s just a discussion chill. Anyone can have an opinion.
The world is more than tech employees. Go out and explore and see some life
Okay chintu, I’ll throw my masters degree in the trash
Maybe a combination of salary + more weightage to US degree holders? Either way, a reform is VERY much needed.
This will just incite a bidding war, and it also means when the line doesn’t go up fast enough the first thing to go is the H1B slots.
Both seem fine if the goal is to attract top talent vs depress the labor market for Americans 🤷
Except smaller orgs that want to bring in a specialist and can’t afford a TC of 300k. Also, who would want to come here if it was an open secret you were guaranteed to be the first one to lose your job because the company’s board decided they wanted an extra 1B in profit.
That's what Trump was planning to do. And Biden got rid of wage based H1Bs.
If not wrong he wanted to bring point based green card system as well
too bad he is going to jail and wont facilitate the US travel back to 1800s
Hello .... yes biden . we need to talk
Salary based priority disadvantages the recent graduates and researches. I feel point based systems are better suited considering parameters like salary, experience, education etc
+1 new grad can’t compete with high salaries of experienced person. Point based system will neutralize all parameters, and would be more valuable to true talent — win win for both
Another problem is non-tech employees. Not all sectors are offering same salary that doesn’t mean that they are not that valuable.
Born US citizen or natualized US citizen ?!
