[quote=spdrun]We’re talking about tech companies in the US, right? Do you not expect some to be exploitative?[/quote]
i don’t understand you understand how this works in practice.
H1B means hiring the person here in the US. It’s not cheap. Any public company or company planning to go public under a lot of scrutiny wouldn’t be able to get away with paying H1B significantly below market value. Small shitty companies maybe, but irrelevant to the greater talent pool of tech workers who don’t need to work at small shitty companies with no plans on going public of without stock grants…
Eventually companies will get caught and people will go to jail if company big enough….
Fed already learned from 2018ish.
H1B visa abuse is so circa 2018 that it doesn’t make sense to try to do this and risk getting caught
…And it’s way more expensive and far more risk than hiring someone out of a satellite office in Romania or Poland. Not just wages, but legal and administrative cost of doing an H1B applicant. Speaking from experience….
