Would've expected YC to know this. Infosys hogs half the highly skilled worker H1b quota every year at an average salary of $80K in effect denying many startups and founders the ability. http://www.myvisajobs.com/Visa-Sponsor/Infosys/1088782.htm http://www.myvisajobs.com/Visa-Sponsor/Infosys/1088782.htm
They probably file 60K H1bs if they ended up getting 30K in the lottery.
- benatkin 10y agoAren't they also pushing to increase the quota? And isn't increasing the quota a good thing?
- vadym909 10y agoFor one company to take up 50% of the really scarce H1b quota (65,000) is just not fair. To do it to get a lil lower cost worker is inexcusable. I have no issue with Infosys's offshoring- only their unfair gobbling up of the H1b visas.
- keht 10y agoEveryone from the Army, to the Govt, to Apple, to your medical insurer, to your bank have been using those workers. Maybe it will make you feel better if they all worked for 100 different Indian firms, but this is just more efficient. The bodyshops face stiff competition from each other to consolidate. The fact that Infosys has survived 20 years says something about the company.
