We’ve discussed the auction before here. My sentiment is that it would cause all of the H1Bs to be concentrated in the Bay Area at a handful of companies.

- Zigurd 9y agoIn which case H1-B would be used only for high-end R&D talent not obtainable in the US and would have little or no wage-depressing effect. What a terrible problem.
- Terr_ 9y agoI agree, that's one side effects to watch out for. However, it can be curbed with some rough (80/20) cost-of-living adjustments to the applications before they're all put together for ranking. Even without that adjustment, I think the "bidding" system would probably represent a significant improvement over what we have now.
