I am wondering what is the one logical reason why the tech companies sponsor overseas offers for software engineering when there are abundant resources and college graduates available in US. TECH industry is bubbled so much with huge pay offers where on the other side the non tech engineers are still working below 100k and very hard to get a hike. Highly disappointed on the pay difference between different industry and the immigration process where the visa requirement says highly skilled and advanced degree is required as criteria but in reality everyone knows what they hold.
Are you jealous?
I never mind if you think I am jealous. You know what yes I am jealous. Using the broke. Immigration system and companies they play as they want
US or any company is not doing charity by hiring on visa. They do things to maximize their profit. You live in capitalism but want socialism only when it comes to tech jobs. Am I getting it right?
Graduates doesn't mean skilled.. I know many graduates who would not be able to actually make any kind of things engineering systems that have 100x impact because it saves a lot of time or else scales to millions of users is not something anyone can do You look at the average tech guy, they will also make <100k making websites and apps But those who can actually "engineer or architect software are very few. Too much text? Enroll in some course and try to make a website Assuming you have the patience to learn that, go to internet and look at any major Open source project from apache Facebook google, try to fix a bug In one month
I am already on track working on the software engineering boot camps just to prove myself that I can get the job with fancy numbers even though software engineering is the other side of the world for me. But I will never join tech industry.

All those sitting inside and recruiting like the background of people where they come from. I do not how they are cheaper because if there is a pay difference everyone will raise their hands and say the company is showing discrimination and they get the same pay as others get
I donât understand this post at all. You do realize that H1B visa holders have to be paid a minimum salary so that it is competitive with what a US citizen would have been paid, right?
Also, employees on H1B can change jobs if they are underpaid.
No in reality it is not.
I don't see enough citizens going into CS and of those that do, a lot end up going into product management or leadership roles whereas people on H1B visas are left to do the SDE grunt work which is why you see so many immigrants working as software engineers. I think that it ends up costing them more in the long run when it comes to career progression since employers know very well that switching jobs isn't as easy for immigrants.
Postdocs get $51K with an annual increment of $1500 around. Transition from academia to industry is not easy even though they have all skills. Every field is different (I am not a SWE).
Because the government wants constant economic growth and that isnât possible with current US birth rates. They need to ship in hordes of overseas workers who will work for peanuts and never unionize. The cherry on top for those in power is that if they have kids in the US or become citizens, theyâll vote democrat
Work for peanuts except there are laws that require H1B Visa holders to be paid a minimum wage. I think it was 150k or something so not âpeanutsâ. And yeah everyone should vote democrat because democrats arenât the ones restricting voting rights.
After a few years at consultancy firms, they gun FAANGS.
In some cases they are cheaper and in some cases because the potential employers like them more during interviews.
