I'm American, and I've been working alongside a professional staff that is ~90% brilliant foreign researchers and software developers for 15+ years of my career. I would not characterize this as "a problem." It's only a problem to Americans who feel they are somehow owed these jobs due to where they were born.
- mixmastamyk 7mo agoPrivileged take. I’ve been unemployed for years now and am “brilliant” (hah) compared to most people in tech. You might feel differently if you experienced that and have also have seen entire floors of foreign nationals working at a tech company twenty years ago. Not all of them can be geniuses. I don’t begrudge individuals but the system is broken. Refusal to train (times explosion of stacks) is another facet.
- _doctor_love 7mo agoThank you for saying this - foreign people who come to the US generally speaking seem much more willing to work hard than Americans who were born there.
