There is no shortage of US candidates but there is a shortage of qualified US candidates. Getting an engineering degree from an average US college doesn't mean you are a qualified engineer. In fact, most new graduates know absolutely nothing about software engineering.
It's just the market is so bad now and those tech giants don't want to give them a shot. So many experienced engineers on the job market right now. Why hiring a new grad?
- bigfatkitten 2y agoThe software engineering field is largely "engineering" in name only. Very few jurisdictions globally recognise software engineers as qualified engineers, but that's a separate issue.
- ritcgab 2y agoI agree with you, and the same also applies to the other parts of the world. So the question comes down to: why so many kids are failed by our colleges. I am pretty sure those tech giants actually pay more for H-1B workers.
