I went through IT trade school and no one was interested in how well I could program a router, switch, or how well I could manage an exchange server, GPO, or any of that bullshit. They want senior everything, when I was a junior. Can't find senior in the USA? Go to another country for it and lobby hard for it.
Companies no longer need to invest in the local population, like they use to, they do enough spending billions in Washington DC. Why not bitch and moan about not enough H1-B or any other green card crap?
Here is proof that the tech industry doesn't give a flying rats ass about the USA and why I want out. Lobbying figures per company.

Apparently they make too much money and trying to buy Washington like every other industry. But people in the USA are too dumb to want to shake the system.
