When I get a job application from a Colombian (the country) living in the US, I get excited. Most times they’re hard-working + fast-paced people who just go. I’m sure there are exceptions but the hit rate for me is very high.
As we both agree, anyone anywhere can be awesome, but 1st gen Americans are also great.

For sure! The double-positive selection around (a) Colombian culture and (b) did the work to get to the US has had good outcomes for me.

I think that concept of “doing the work to get to the US” will fade away over time as the world shifts to remote. So many brilliant people love the country they’re from and would prefer to live there. I’d rather find someone that did the work to become great at what they do...
