Remember, H1B isn’t always about tech, even if we’d all like to pretend it is. You’ll have to have separate bidding process for different occupations, otherwise you’ll end up with a system where Facebook will get all the visas, while in some cases, doctors would not be sponsored.
- H8crilA 2y agoHow is that resolved now? Uniform probability sampling across all requests, regardless of occupation?

- darth_avocado 2y agoYes and some occupations are cap exempt.
- liontwist 2y agoGood. There is no shortage of doctors except the one created by accreditation cartel.
- darth_avocado 2y agoThere absolutely is. Especially in underserved areas.
- superq 2y agoYour statement and the parent's can be concurrently true.
- liontwist 2y agoYou mean the ones where the 400k/yr young single people don’t want to work? It’s the same problem. Accreditation is so expensive there are no mid range doctors anymore.
- darth_avocado 2y agoThere are plenty of jobs as a doctor that pay 350k+/yr that are vacant and are being filled by H1Bs. This mostly is in areas that have low cost of living. You could literally buy a good house with that salary within a year and fully pay for it in two. But people just don’t want to live or work there. Even doctors would prefer to be in NYC or LA over Jackson, Mississippi.
- asoneth 2y agoI'm curious what makes you think tech workers would monopolize the top spots? I would expect that companies desperate for experts in medicine, research, engineering, law, business (which, like tech, already pay high salaries) would be similarly willing to pay a premium to be able to hire the best from other countries.
