Interesting. So not knowing a lot about the situation, is this actually a hiring strategy?
Hiring people into the country on Visas, because then they have to perform to very high levels and crazy demands else they have to go back home?
That's evil genius stuff right there.
- LEDThereBeLight 4y agoIt’s not so much that it’s explicit strategy. It’s more that tech companies look for high performers, and the H1B situation creates high performers through extortion. The companies are happy to take advantage of it.
- ozzythecat 4y agoIt absolutely is a hiring strategy. Come visit Amazons campus around Denny Triangle and SLU in Seattle. The majority of the foot traffic (Amazon employees) are #1 Indian nationals. If you sponsor someone from Bangalore or Chennai, you pay some up front costs. But that person is going to work double/triple time and deal with a huge amount of shit. Otherwise, they have to pay themselves to move back to India within a limited amount of time. If you see organizations like Prime Video, Alexa, Kindle - pretty much the entire org is Indian. You want to tell me white, black, Hispanic people can’t code? The HR pipelines are set up where most new recruits come through specific colleges that have an abundance of Indians studying abroad. If someone from Chennai has to be on a miserable on call, they’d rather do that and send their kid to a school in Seattle or Redmond, instead of moving back to India.
