There's too much missing information in this article. In today's environment, a qualified programmer with the background this guy appears to have should get offers at a much higher percentage of companies.. IF everything is on the level: decent communications skills, applying for jobs whose requirements match skills, realistic compensation expectations, and (my guess in this case) already authorized to work in the US.
I would expect this low hit rate from a qualified individual looking for a job AND an H1B sponsor.
- kafkaesq 11y agoThe H1B factor certainly has weight - I can imagine it leading to a 2x factor in his rejection rate. But not the 5x rate he's apparently had to suffer through.
- basseq 11y agoI would also have to imagine most of the H1B fallout is at the initial screen, not after multiple interview rounds.
