Thanks for this post, as a H1B on my to SV it's frustrating to be lumped together with "lowest bid" coders. My employer specifically reached out in a recruiting campaign in Europe because, quote "we've interviewed every possible and willing candidate in the valley". If you look at the money they throw at my transfer it's easy to conclude that they'd rather hire local if it was possible.
