I think this is great news for countries like Canada and UK.
- leakycap 1y agoIt is incredible to me that there are hundreds of US-centric comments and yours is the only one I saw who recognized the benefit for basically every other country people want to live and work in.
- Izikiel43 1y ago> Canada It's not doing really well though, COL is sky high, and wages are low.
- stackskipton 1y agoAnd I've talked to a few Canadians, despite the Liberal party winning, there is real push for Canada to severely restrict immigration and that is currently happening.
- totony 1y agoAs far as I can tell, the push against immigration in Canada is mainly around unskilled workers (which a lot of TFW are) and asylum seekers, but we will see how this pans out.
- dustbunny 1y agoThey're just turning the knob down a little bit because it was pretty high last few years and caused some supply side issues in housing and healthcare. I'm sure Canada will gladly accept highly skilled engineers.
- Tiktaalik 1y agoThe push back against immigration is against the way it was exploited by scammers to exploit people and make money from them. The sort of high educated immigrants of the sort that would work in software engineering will not face remarkable headwinds.
- oytis 1y agoNot for tech workers from these countries though.
- yodsanklai 1y agoIf more jobs are created in these countries, it doesn't mean the local tech workers will be replaced.
- JasserInicide 1y agoit doesn't mean the local tech workers will be replaced. You're right because that totally didn't happen to varying degrees in various industries in the US...
- yodsanklai 1y agoWithout foreign workers, there may not even be big US tech companies as we know them. I really wish we could have these talents in Europe to boost our economy. This would create more jobs and more wealth ultimately.
- oytis 1y agoWe have the talent in Europe, they are just paid peanuts. If moving to the US was not an option, the balance on the labour market would be even worse (for the said talent).
- phatfish 1y agoHardly, the Indian government weaponises their diaspora in the same way China does.
- y-curious 1y agoOh no, Canada, don't take my low-paid, equally-skilled and desperate-to-stay-at-one-company competition from me! /s
- the_real_cher 1y agohaha so true
- declan_roberts 1y agoThey already pay 50%-70% less there than in America. Not much juice left to squeeze.
- pyuser583 1y agoUK is insanely hard to immigrate to. Canada is getting more and more difficult by the day. This insanity seems collective.
- dustbunny 1y ago> Canada is getting more difficult How so?
- checker659 1y agoUK is not hard to immigrate to. You just need to pay a heft sum for the visa and NHS surcharge.
- Tiktaalik 1y agoSeriously as someone with no interest in moving to the USA this is fantastic news. Open up studios in British Columbia and hire the relatively cheaper labour. It's on the same time zone as Silicon Valley. It's a no brainer.
