As someone who chose to stay in London for me the increased certainty is worth the hit to my salary. Salary matters but it isn’t everything. Obviously it’s not the same for Europeans who can get a green card in a few years. But a lot of people are waking up to this and offices in places like London and Canada are expanding. I personally know people who make very good money in both places. In fact anecdotally there’s increasing presence of big tech in London as a backup for H1B rejects by all majors. In the long term this will contribute to the decentralization of tech companies outside the US. These policies are short sighted and foolish.
