There's quite a bit of anti-work-visa sentiment in HN, primarily because they assume it increases supply and reduces pay. So, It's implicitly assumed that the visa ban is not the cause behind the doctor shortage - its expensive me

Maybe drop the requirement that only governments fund residency slots?

Thanks for the insight.

Interesting, I wasn't aware 1% don't get matched. Is it because of some minimum score needed in medical school exams ?

Since residency spots have to be funded through Medicare, I was under the impression that they are very competitive essentially making them a zero sum game. If less get through on a visa, the spots will just be filled up by natives. Or is i

Pretty much all work pants (like Dickie's) have this, in addition to regular pockets.

Curious, is it hard because of the backlog or other reasons ? I understand there is a 5-6 year wait for a green card for Chinese born.

they had already made an exception for F1 students to attend remote classes at the start of the pandemic. They were planning to end the exception for the fall semester, hence the outcry.

A friend of mine had the same problem. Got hired into a smaller startup that was willing to take a chance on him and is now a program director

Have you tried looking for Project/Program manager roles, maybe even DoD ? They usually are a good fit for people with your skills

On a related note, why aren't Qualcomm arm chips performing as well on benchmarks ?

I understand what you're concerned about. Yeah they randomly audit a certain % labor condition applications by requesting more detailed evidence. It's not like people don't lie on these forms and get falsified evidence. There

Lying on immigration related documents is a crime so yeah they can take the letter at face value. Whoever issues the letter assumes liability for what they attest to.

You have to provide evidence to USCIS (letters from past employers) that you worked on kubernetes for 12 years. They don't simply take your assertions at face value.

I really wanted to read this article. There seems to be some kind of scroll jacking happening on mobile that makes it real frustating to swipe down. Page keeps moving up and down due to some overlay. Can't even go into article mode for

Of course it exists. It's called an I-94. DHS has that info. Every single foreigner is assigned a unique alien number and tracks your entry and exit into the country. They just don't want to deal with connecting information from t

The biggest reinvention going on right now in cars is in software. Traditional automakers are not seup to do this well because suppliers have their own stack and all the controllers are pretty much fixed outside a firmware flash. Tesla does

Just looking at annual pay, lets say you pay devs a reasonable 75K USD in Chattanooga. Thats 56 Lakh INR annual pay in India. You can get a top engineer for that kind of pay. This doesn't even account for the difficulty in hiring an en

Hard disagree. Most of the talented Indian engineers in top N tech companies in the US came from the Indian education system. They all migrated here in search of better opportunities. Things are however changing in India due to the rapidly

taking tests in a testing center is actually pretty viable and scales well. This is primarily how all those international students from developing countries write GRE, TOEFL and end up coming to study in the US.

It's a domain specific language mainly for Modeling dynamic systems. Typically engineers focusing on simulation use it along with a commercial IDE and paid libraries with a lot of prebuilt components.

a quick intro for programmers - Modelica is basically the equivalent of Haskell for engineers - the compiler does most of the work for you and produces highly performant code. You can compose a very complex system from individually modeled

Been working in Modelica for a couple of years. Modelica compilers generate C code since they're heavily used in the embedded and real-time space. Kinda amazing to see systems with hundreds of thousands of equations simulate faster tha

Infosys is not the highest office of the president so it makes no difference here.

1. They don't say how many contractors they employ (through staffing agencies) who are on H1B 2. Having 40% of your FTEs on H1B is still pretty staggering
