[quote=no_such_reality]What you described flu is the way H1-B is supposed to work, staffing of a position with niche or difficult to find skills. When you look across the country how many do you see like them?
As opposed to were I’ve see many h1bs, windows support engineer III or the equivalent.
I have no concerns with the program being used for niche requirements, I do when it’s used for rank and file.[/quote]
Again. I am sure the abuse does happen. But personally, I haven’t experienced or witnessed it from the employers I have been at. I see a lot more emphasis on companies moving the entire operation abroad, which is what it think people need to be concerned about if they are really concerned about job security.
And those firmware engineering positions. No one has even bothered to apply. We haven’t even gotten to the salary negotiation stages, because I am sure if there was a viable candidate, Wed probably cut a pretty large package.
As far as lateral move svelte, plenty of people do it. I just did. No pay increase
.maybe even a slight pay cut.
