It depends on the company and I would bet my life’s savings that if a discrepancy exists at Google, it is not intentional. I have many American friends, friends on TN visas, and friends on H1Bs and we are transparent about our pay (to protect each other from poor business practices). Being involved in the process there are so many legal barriers and red tape and people take it all seriously.
H1B holders will get paid less over time due to not being able to leave companies at the drop of a hat. A similar but less significant effect holds for TN visas. I have not once seen any significant pay discrepancy for two comparable software engineers at the same company based on visa status.
- porkbeer 3y agoI'll take that bet.
- nostrebored 3y agoWhy? OP mentioned a number of reasons why they don’t believe it to be true
- oceanplexian 3y agoI worked at FAANG and knew more than one Indian on H1B. They weren't getting paid "the same but slightly less". They were getting like 50k TC on a team where the rest of the team was making 200+.

- hejalajsbsb 3y agoTo my knowledge that is unambiguously illegal and I hope they band together to get justice. Were they aware of others in shared circumstances?
