The restrictions on H1Bs is only a temporarily restraint and will only hasten the transition to 100% remote teams.
Soon people will no longer be complaining about Infosys and Tata Consulting but instead about Toptal, GitLab and Zapier - and there will be no regulatory way to stop them.
Politicians can only protect your jobs for so long.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoPoliticians don't care about American's jobs. If they did they would have reigned in the H1B abuse years ago. Disney had their IT department literally training their H1B replacements before being laid off. That was blatantly illegal. Nothing happened to them. How may other companies got away with this without notice because they weren't as stupid as Disney? We can rake Zuck across the coals but Disney is untouchable. That's what politicians care about.
- yborg 7y agoExactly this. I work for Anthem, and they are implementing a plan to move the majority of their IT development work to a captive subsidiary in India. This is increasingly the model.
