the move towards preference for masters degree is a decent start. there is no way someone with a masters degree would want to work for one of the consulting firms.
- mavelikara 8y agoF-1 students graduating from Masters programs at lower tier schools mostly go work at staffing companies. These companies are worser abusers of H-1B than global outsourcers.
- commonsense1234 8y agoi agree with that. but, the proportion to how many h1bs get allocated to these staffing companies vs outsourcing is maybe 1:20 even if taken as an aggregate. even though it wont entirely eliminate the problem, it is still a good start. The second thing is to create rules to directly discourage indirect employment when on H1B (the abused vendor model).
- mavelikara 8y agoIf you compare two specific companies, your math is right. But if you compare the aggregate number of H-1Bs allocated to all global consulting vendors to those allocated to all American staffing companies, the numbers are much more closer to each other. Agree that stopping third-party employment is a great step. This administration has been doing so by asking for higher levels of documentation.
