This affects very few immigrants of extraordinary ability. Such people are likely to be job creators with the companies and products they build. I agree that if we were to lift the cap on H-1b visas it could easily destroy tech salaries. Thankfully that’s not under consideration.
- jupp0r 3y agoMost H1-B visas don't go to engineering roles. Expanding those quotas wouldn't affect engineering salaries, but probably IT support roles, etc.
- dougmwne 3y agoIf you open the door wide enough, salaries will drop. It’s an economic reality. It may be a very good thing for the wider economy and stock market though. Right now critical roles that enable high productivity work are behind a tall wall of a multi-100k salary. It’s possible that we are letting a small number of engineers get early retirements in exchange for a drag on the whole economy.
