you see the reason h1b is so popular with the c-suite in a lot of cases is that you get absolute loyalty to a company that holds all the power of your being allowed to stay in the us. you lose the h1b job and you have limited time to find a new valid employer to sponsor you or else you go back to your country. it's one of the reasons musk loves it for twitter.
- square_usual 8mo agoH1B transfers are easy. You aren't beholden to an employer.
- liveoneggs 8mo agoYou have 60 days to find a new job or get deported. It's a pretty strong lever.
- square_usual 8mo agoHow is that related to a transfer? If you have a job on an H1b, you can get another job and switch to it any time with a transfer.
- liveoneggs 8mo agore-read OOP, not your own jump to "transfer"
- square_usual 8mo agoMy logic is if you can transfer you don't have absolute loyalty. Your logic is... what exactly?
- SilverElfin 8mo agoIt is unbelievable the kind of misinformation that is spread about immigrants. Thanks for pointing that out
- rkomorn 8mo agoI've had three different H1Bs. Yes, transfers are easy, but they're sure a hell more risky than staying at your current job and enduring whatever you have to. You're not beholden to your employer, but you have borderline coercive reasons to stay.
- square_usual 8mo agoGreat, yes, but you sure as hell don't have "absolute loyalty" to a company.
- johnnyanmac 8mo agoIts all relative. A burned out American can drop out tomorrow with no short term plan. H1Bs cannot fo that unless they are ready to go back to their previous country.
- boelboel 8mo agoEven a 5% chance you and your partner/kids have to uproot their life is a bigger sacrifice than a 30% wage increase, at least to some people.
