Also look at the most recent college graduates that we tried to hire… Many of the bachelors we interviewed didn’t really know about real time O/S, didn’t really have that much experience with mobile software…And the ones that we felt were bright and we could train, they weren’t interesting in working for us because they thought wireless connectivity was “boring”. They all wanted to go work for Facebook.
And as another example. My company has 4 open recs right now for senior firmware engineers. Pretty good pay…You could definitely negotiate a very nice salary and total comp package since these positions have been open for a long time now. I think I might have even posted them here awhile ago. Not a single one of the people I reached out to replied. Why? How many of you with an “engineer” title can write firmware? I know I can’t. A lot of these H1-B’s are hired because they have learned/done what many of the rest of us had snubbed our noses at doing throughout our career. And frankly, they are better at doing it then those of us who haven’t done it that now suddenly want to do it
