Clearly visa sponsorship is not a freebie and costs the company money to support, pay lawyer fees and to USCIS etc.

If instead one joins as a green card holder or US citizen, then does the TC technically increase? (Everything else remaining equal)

TC $280k

    Minimal amount for a big tech. Benefits by far outweigh the cost of good talent.

    It is absurdly cheap from a financial standpoint.

    But it is highly risky: USCIS might deny the petition, the process takes longer, there is a small risk of losing the employee even after Visa approval. If a Donald-like president shows up, there is the risk of losing that employee as well without further notice (a lot of people here have wet dreams about this).

    Basically hiring immigrants is full of risks. GC and Citizens are risk-free. You hire them, do a background check, whatever, ask them to come in, they start working right away.

    Hiring immigrants is like going in the bookstore and accepting the "we can order it, so you pick it up next month". Usually, people prefer to pick and leave.

    That's why citizens will never understand what is go job hunting and hear from the get go: sorry, GC or US citizens only. Not complaining here, this is all fair, we are 2nd class people here: we understand it, and accept the rules. It is what it is, nobody railroaded us here.

    But it is important to highlight that, especially to those people who believe FAANG PREFERS to hire immigrants. They don't prefer it, it is a hassle, a risk. They do it because THEY CAN'T EASILY FIND people with such skills. Ask any recruiter.
