Of course this will work. We want the people who do the jobs that have the most impact on the economy.
> 1/ this will incentive IT and software jobs and marginalize other fields with lower pay (physics, mechanical, chemical, etc).
Why!? If those people are important they can be paid well too. There are plenty of chemical engineers that make good money.
> 2/ this would mean only bigger software companies would get a chance and people would willing to work in startups will stand lower chance.
Startups can pay too. In any case, most startups don't sponsor H1Bs because of the uncertainty associated with the process.
- tomohelix 3y agoDo those chemical engineers make the same amount of money as a software dev with the same amount of experience? A fresh ChemE grad would be lucky to land a 120K job as a process engineer. Very lucky. An entry software job is 150K. Does this mean the a CS grad is on average more impactful to the economy than a chemical engineer? Not all industries can pay as much as software. A PhD with an extra 5-10 years of industrial experience may get a 200K salary in biotech, often less. A CS bachelor with 1-2 years of experience would get that 200K. Pay doesn't always equal the value of your contribution, especially if you compare them across different fields.
