The way the system is currently set up it's both. Outsourcing companies like those mentioned in the article (Infosys etc) absolutely abuse the system to hire cheap workers. But a lot of talented engineers are hired that way too. Hopefully I don't sound too biased when I say that, since I'm a former H1B holder. Whether I'm truly talented or not, I can assure you I was paid market rate.
- ptr 7y agoI've got a very knowledgeable and experienced friend from Sweden that aced both Google's and Amazon's interviews, but they're only willing to employ him outside the US (Canada for example) due to the H1B issues. He didn't accept their offers and is now a top paid developer at a local startup. I'm not sure how this is "Making America Great Again".
