I agree cent percent with HarryBosch.

IT jobs now a days are very very competitive and usually favors the young people.

Unless you have the motivation/ability to keep updating your knowledge , you are out…

In my company, we outsource the java development job to India as we can hire 3 engineers rather than having one in states. But again, hiring H1B is usually more costly than hiring a US Citizen.

I am an IT veteran and was on H1B working for a long time.

Let me share my experience with H1B atleast w.r.t big companies like MSoft/CSCO/Intel as I worked for few of these big MNCs.

Usually, I know companies do not like to hire H1Bs because of additonal baggage like H1B processing/GreenCard processing etc etc. So, whenever I get an offer from these companies, I am in a better position to negotiate as I know that they have come to offer me as last resort. So, I am always able to negotiate for more. Simple supply and demand right ?

But, if you talk about people working for bodyshop companies like TCS/WIPRO/Indian-Consultancies they are definitely not paid that much. Saying it a modern day slavery would be a bit exaggeration though.
Usually, big consultancy companies like TCS/WiPro they pay you less but small companies pay on hourly basis..
Most of my friends are on H1B working for american companies ( not for bodyshoppers ) and their salaries are definitely a lot ($100Ks).
But few of my companies doing independent projects through small bodyshopper companies are getting at an average of $60/hr. Not bad huh..

I am not sure if the modern day slaves can earn this much!
Mind it, these words are coming straight from the horse’s mouth.

Honestly, for big american companies, hiring H1Bs is a very costly proposition but they have to do it. I am a living example as I have been hired few times at a premium or I just got lucky all the times??

If you talk about L1 visa and offshoring, its a different story…..

I am just seeking some objective/unbiased opinions on some phenomenon happening in far east as I find writings by people on this board quite interesting and enlightening.

Anyway, apart from this, I believe economic fundamental remains the same irrespective of time or place.
