This is an incredibly tragedy for America. We just shut down skilled immigration into the US, and prevent existing skilled workers from changing jobs. Many of the most talented people I know are here on H1-B and J visashttps://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1275145241591525377 …

H-1Bs are for people who have unique skills that aren’t present in the local population. When those people aren’t brought here, those jobs are sent there. Skilled immigration makes America more competitive, and creates more jobs as a conseuqnce than it takes
Yeah, as someone who dealt with H1Bs in a former operations role I can tell you for a fact that it's not worth the hassle, the lawyer's fees, and especially the uncertainty if you can find what you need in a current legal resident

You can justify a whole lot of hassle if an H1B will accept $50k less than a local in comp.

You do realize there’s a salary requirement that needs to be met for H-1B right?

(There may or may not be institutions that have figured out how to utilize the cap exemption and special treatment in the legal process to drive wages down — this is something I hear — but this is far afield from the experience of for-profit & most non-profit employers)

Hey, I'm on H1B. It's not worth the hassle because of how the system is setup (not great). It's complicated, difficult and has high uncertainty. Compare that with other visa classes (ie. TN), you can show up at border and get approved. Can do papers yourself. IOW, fix the system
