H1b crash and mass exodus seem to have started
H1b crash and mass exodus seem to have started In the 2000 dot com bust they returned to their home countries leaving their Honda Accords and Toyota Corollas at the airport parking lots. Now they are leaving whole houses behind dragging the housing market down. It always starts at the teetering edge! Very sad. Buyer beware!
Citizens rejoice, de-h1b-fication has started and would likely be complete by 2028
No interview dates to go around, no third country stamping allowed, which means those who are out will stay out and those who are in, are stuck inside.. unable to go back to their own families in need. This is step one. Process is the punishment here. And should you lose your job in this crappy work environment, it's all over.. Needlessly cruel. All to appease their base who picks up on these stories. I've seen lot of my friends crack already and go back. I can see this getting much much worse.
Finally, someone called it out
@snap: I have seen favouritism in hiring and promotion 1st hand. I can see org charts. If the org chain is Telugu, then most folks in that org/team are mostly Telugus. Your denying the facts is the same way authorities denied this UK grooming gang scandal and didn't act in time just for the fear of being termed as racist as the accused were mostly Pakis. Sometimes, calling out facts and truth is not racism. I am not a Pakistani btw. It's the typical card played out by Indians when shown a mirror.
Unemployment was the worst Christmas gift
I’ve been unemployed for 3 months and I’m almost out of savings. I’ve applied to 187 jobs, 9 interviews, 3 final rounds, and every time it’s we’re pausing this role. So when the BLS said there are now more unemployed people than job openings for the first time since 2021, I didn’t feel shocked. I felt like someone finally said out loud what I’ve been living since August. I watched Trump talk about “bringing back American-born jobs” last week.
Things Must Be Bad If NYT Is Complaining About H-1B
Did a bit of digging. Here’s Mr. Boone’s profile (see screenshot) and his GitHub profile (https://github.com/MizzouMitch) He never completed his degree at the University of Missouri, has an associate degree, and his GitHub profile has nothing (even no vibe coded junk). NYT article doesn’t mention any of this, just skirts around this by saying “Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter.
Working 2 FAANGs at same time | Tech Industry - Blind
Yes it’s very easy. Try it. I'm doing 4 FAANG jobs simultaneously. All RTO. Very easy to be in 4 places at once. Dang what are your annual total TCs? Of all the combined jobs @LBjG48, got a Time Machine invented or maybe an avatar seen all the place at once, lol !! How are you going to manage it, while doing RTO at meta? I know people who have done it between FAANG and non-FAANG, but both roles were remote. Also if you do it, freeze your TWN asap.
People on Visa should not interview anyone
So you are treating other humans as inferior. Because people are on visa doesn't make them less qualified. Your thoughts are in line with all these arguments below: 1. Women shouldn't vote, because they are not qualified to understand politics 2. Black people shouldn't have the same rights as they don't look like us 3. Oh this religion is better than others. ( Hint hint Hitler's Germany) Hope I don't need to provide more examples. Read history and get yourself checked. You piece of shitt.
I am giving up. Companies want perfect performance in all interview rounds.
Too many candidates. They can be choosy. They are like these spoiled brats shopping. After All the time, effort, and rejections they will end up hiring someone who will not perform differently than many they rejected. But they will feel satisfied and feel good about themselves. They should tell all candidates that how many other candidates they are interviewing for 1 position so candidates can voluntarily decide not to waste their own time.
Literally nothing changed for US citizens in the last two weeks
Literally nothing changed for US citizens in the last two weeks Companies are still going for H1 candidates over US citizens. No, we, US citizens, are not getting more attention from recruiters on LinkedIn. My team, where the manager is Indian, is still pushing to interview visa people over citizens. You might see a few outliers where companies stopped processing visa transfers, but it appears to be the status quo for the rest of the tech industry.
It's 100k per year, renewals and first times, not only per application.
https://www.youtube.com/live/gK9L029BcaM Link to livestream. While he was signing the order, Lutnick jumped in to clarify these things. Amazing. Government is going full gangster here and demanding 100k annually for an H1B, even for renewals WITCH is doomed.
Is USA still a good option for H1b engineers ? | Ask Blinders - Blind
This depends on several factors and kind of life you are used to. One of the reasons h1b is so popular is that even with itβs restrictions people have a good life here as compared to where they are from. If not they would just leave.
I can’t do it anymore I want to give up on this job search | Software Engineering Career - Blind
Stay strong brother! I know it gets tough and very hard mentally. But unfortunately we have to do it, there’s only one way to go through the tunnel and land a job and it is to study and persevere through it. Unfortunately nobody will offer you a job for going through a hard time. Try to convince yourself everyday that you’re doing great and making progress. Currently at 6 months laid off, for the third time
Easiest companies to get 150K offer with max 3 rounds interview
Easiest companies to get 150K offer with max 3 rounds interview Every company has so lengthy interview process now, is there any company paying 150K+ and have max 3 rounds (including recruiter screen)?
Apparently they think "jobs.now" is "coordinated fraud"
https://x.com/JBlunt1018/status/1961526067669434776 I think doth hath protests too much, as usually coordinated fraud is something that comes from them. Projection much? But anyways, jobs.now doesn't do or encourage any fraudulent applications. They merely repost job ads (for free mind you) so that more Americans can find them. Calling jobs.now coordinated fraud is like calling the library of Congress digitizing old books, fraud. It's a nonsense statement on its face.
Florida H1B on Fox News
Glad this issue is making headlines. There's not enough homes for Americans plus all the millions of immigrants that have been flooding the country and that's why homes are scarce and prices are high. Plus builders haven't been building enough homes which compounds the problem. The usa is short 12 million homes. On top of immigrants, there is also the problem that foreigners (canadians) own 30% of the homes in the east coast and foreign Asians own roughly 30% of the homes in the west coast.
Job market is crazy
YOE is a flawed filter because it removes people who got promoted faster and are therefore higher performers. If you ask for the average number of years needed to reach level X, the above average half of candidates have either already found their next company, or are looking for a job in level X+1. And someone who does 60 hour weeks will have the same amount of experience in 3 years as the chill coaster has in 9 years. But I get it, you have to chop things down somehow.
f***ing terrible
Yes, this does happen. They should make it a point to bar H1Bs from interviewing Americans. That is just common sense. A H1B is incentivized heavily to show an American down, any chance they get. New theories to cope for not being able to clear interviews Fail you and then claim it is a "skill issue". @Insta, nobody can clear the interviews when you want to hire your buddy on H1B. True. Can confirm. Personal experience (and some people I know). They absolutely will fail you if you are not H1B. Not true.
h1b are taking all our jobs
There are more than 730,000 H1Bs ( most of them being high income tech workers ) and if you include their dependents it shoots to 1.5 million. Like it or not but these numbers are game changing and is definitely impacting not only the US tech job market, but the housing market as well. Don't let these H1Bs gaslight you into " but we are educated Saar There aren't that many of us Saar Enough room for all of us Saar ".

She has earned four promotions in just five years in one of the most competitive sectors in the world. https://www.financialexpress.com/trending/i-had-4-promotions-in-5-years-indian-origin-microsoft-engineer-shares-secret-sauce/3946870/
Tech Needs the Same Labor Protections Doctors Fought For
I’ve worked in tech long enough to see how unstable it’s become: mass layoffs, wage stagnation, outsourcing, and oversupply. Meanwhile, doctors have locked in some of the strongest job protections in the U.S., not by chance, but through decades of lobbying and policy control.
