- nojvek 1y agoWithout salary enforcement, it does come out of workers eventually. Like Americans paying Tariff fees out of their wallets due to price hikes.
- esalman 1y agoThis is still another loophole and the companies which exploit the program and workers (small consulting firms, not big tech per se) are still going to exploit this.
- positr0n 1y agoI certainly don't think the industry's hiring processes are perfect, but $100k on top of a normal wage for an incompetent worker is a lot of money to throw down the drain and not either run out of money or have someone competent notice and stop the situation before too long.
- Terretta 1y ago> $100k ... is a lot of money It's still less than a domestic recruiting fee for many types of roles the H1B was purportedly about, roles where it's hard enough to find someone you need a headhunter's help and the pool is still not exactly what you're looking for.
- esalman 1y agoUnfortunately, to stop the situation you either need to let competent foreign workers in, or somehow make 2 years of masters education, or 7 years of PhD education more attractive to average Americans than flipping burgers and earning $22 an hour, on top of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars loan to get bachelor's degrees.
- beAbU 1y agoFalse dichotomy. Why would only incompetent workers have the 100k to spare?
- esalman 1y agoThere's a reason why corrupt politicians and extortionists all over the world choose to retire in the US.
