What lifisgood is pointing out, correctly in my opinion, is that it is bullshit to believe the U.S. does not pump out enough engineering grads who are US citizens. There is no evidence to support this. So then how do you explain rampant hiring of H1bs and pro-HIB propaganda by the tech industry? Obviously they do this to save money so overall they are being paid less. This is obvious on the larger scale, regardless of the tiny sample size from flu’s work place.
By the way, of course these immigrants are coming to work here for their own benefit, not for any “love” of US. That is the same for low wage workers from Mexico. They are coming here for the mighty dollar and so they can experience the joy of our consumerism based society. The vast majority would prefer to live in their own country and their own culture, speaking their native language. But, people are greedy and like money.[/quote]
(Faceplant) Deadzone. Back when times were good, Qualcomm Staff Engineers were bringing in around $200k/year (H1-B or not). If you consider that low pay, please let me know how much you make for equivalent skillset. Also, if you think that is a lot, why didn’t you apply if you felt you could have been hired?
Also, what was the most “patriotic” thing that you have done the past month? (taking a vacation on July 4th doesn’t count)…
