The H1B system favors inexperienced grads straight out of school over truly experienced workers bringing unique skills. Grads get 3 years on OPT while the company can navigate the labyrinth H1B application process. A company looking for a critical senior position for which they cannot have a large class of intakes is at a huge disadvantage. With the level of unemployment of recent grads still high, I think we need to seriously rethink how to structure the H1B program to actually be for uniquely skilled, highly paid workers who would otherwise be "irreplaceable".
