If your job is to deliver products, you'll find you get what you pay for, I work with some guys who maybe make 10k less than they could because of their immigration status but it's not a difference between 150k and 60k or something.
- jhartmann 14y agoDepends on the place and where the H1-B is from. I have seen situations where H1-B works make half of the American worker. One tactic I have seen is that the American companies tend to basically lock in the workers by paying legal fees and dangle the green card sponsorship carat. The H1-B individuals typically will put up with this for the chance at perm residency. While not all of them, make no mistake there is a real new indentured servant class.
- supercanuck 14y agoIn cases where the job description is something like "Business Analyst" or "Software Engineer", the difference between an American with 10 years of experience and an H1B with "10 years of experience" can be extremely high. This also isn't the equivalent work of say a Startup. A lot of it is simply a butt in the seat performing some form of labor.
