You may not see this in startup-ville but this is very much happening in IT at companies where software is not the "core competency"

- pbiggar 13y agoI admit that this happens in some companies. However, it can only happen to developers who either are not good enough to find jobs elsewhere, or are not aware that they could find jobs elsewhere. As such, I feel those developers are not actually trapped, but rather unaware.
- supercanuck 13y agoThey aren't hired because they are good, they are hired because they are cheap, just like in the article. if you transfer an H1-B, you are no longer cheap. The only people who care about hiring the best and the "top 10%" is in the valley. The rest of America is fine with B through D... the reason being you selling to untechnical corporate project managers.
- pbiggar 13y agoThe costs to transfer a H1B are less than the costs to get it in the first place (the legal costs are the same, but it takes less work to get the materials together, and you don't need to pay the employee to move).
- supercanuck 13y agoI believe it is the green card application that is the issue.
