#H1B's make more than that, the bar is pretty low, to the point of debt servitude. That is of course if Americans can beat out the lower paid H-1B in the first place. The theory is great, but the reality is far different.

Depends on where you’re at. $50k is a solid junior engineering salary in a lot of the United States
-
The jobs are solidly West/East Coasts though. Middle/Flyover America are not in need of developers. The Coasts demand higher wages, but the competition is tough - We have over 40K H-1B's in MA, no graduate would stand a chance unfortunately. Balance Sheet > Altruism unfortunately
-
That is fundamentally untrue
-
In the past 30 days we’ve had 20+ students hired in middle America
-
Which is fantastic for them. Figure a way to replace the 3 million
#H1B's w/legislation for more. I support what your're doing. I would love Americans to have all those jobs, and reduce the H-1B and offshoring of jobs for the benefit of our fellow Americans -
I don’t believe it’s a zero sum game
-
I don't look at it as a game at all. I've seen families in ruin because the bread winner was fired over the
#H1B. Please don't mistake where my loyalties are.

For these experiments, what are the metrics you’re watching to judge success?
-
Success of the students which = whether we make or lose money
-
Ok. Similar to the other experiments then, I’d guess. So these tests are about opening up more audiences to participate in the core value.

Do you only start paying back for the ISA if you get a $50k+software job? Or if you have a job period and you’re already making over $50k?
-
Software job only
-
I was told that the ISA would need to be paid as soon as I graduated LambdaSchool as I’m in a tech job making more then $50k. I do support at a VoIP company.
-
We err on the side of caution as we’re not the ones always administering the payments

Curious: do you adjust the 50k for cost of living?
-
No, that’s legally borderline impossible. We do encourage people to not take a 50k job in Silicon Valley
