Wouldn't the high cost of H1B just incentivize employers to ship these jobs overseas altogether?

- coredog64 8y agoThat’s a difficult sell for many reasons. Companies may have regulatory requirements that prevent it. Even if they don’t, it’s a big deal to open a remote office. You have to have management, legal resources to operate in the country, etc. I’ve also heard management express concerns about protecting IP in low cost jurisdictions. (These people were South Asian, so you can’t even chalk that up to racism.) It’s not a barrier for the FAANGs, but smaller companies aren’t going to save anything at all.
