>I was training someone to do exactly my job in China, but it somehow wasn't the same role. lol, yeah, I know such workarounds companies have at their disposal. For example, in my EU country, to hire people outside the EU is very difficult ... in theory. You must first prove you've exhausted the local and EU candidate pool, unless ... you create a new job opening with bullshit requirements that are hugely specific and rule out any local candidates, like the need to speak Hindi/Mandarin, and presto, you got a visa for that candidate.
