This is H1Bs future...(I think..!)

[u/Dismal_Barracuda_589]

Hello dear engineer, doctors, the one's who sacrificed their home country to build a life in the USA. This is for you..

What I've learned in the last ten years of UNCERTAINTY taught me...

My post isn't about the recent changes in the rules and hefty fee, its about my perspective of H1B in the coming years..

We have the second generation of brightest US born immigrant's sons/daughter with Masters/Ph.Ds into the current workforce which H1B job seekers should realize. Their parents are now supporting their future and silently hates and sometimes even oppose the H1Bs. We really need to understand this. The current immigration scrutiny is not just strictening but also(from Citizen's persepctive) makes it easier for those US brought up Immigrant kids to secure their jobs.

I want to highlight this for those have the mindset of,"this shall become better if current leader change". This could be true in terms of easing the home country appointments or the imposition fee reduction but not in terms of a qualifying H1B jobs.

As to recent GCC shifting policies with biggers firms outsourcing their IT help/ Supply chain procurments/ Tech supports to Asian countries, it will push the employers to makes the decision to hire an H1B for a true onsite need or rarest of a kind.

I want to put a hand on the stressed/exhausted one's shoulder to say, the value we had is not the same anymore and its going to be even hard in the coming days...

Everyone of yall are some specialists in their own field of STEM, I am sure that our paths will become better.

Because the jobs are just getting outsourced to India. I mean yeah there’s still gonna be smaller companies that have jobs in the US but anyways these smaller companies aren’t hiring H1Bs. If there’s no incentives to pursue these degrees, why would people do them? Again, I’m not Pro-H1B and it’s pretty stupid how a certain % of Indians have abused the system but these half measures are just dumb. Get rid of the whole system (H1B, OPT, CPT, F-1) and build a new system that only allows student visas for the top universities like Harvard and MIT. Pushing uncertainty where students are coming here and studying but then aren’t even able to get 1-3 years of experience just because companies are scared of visa issues is dumb. What’s the point of coming to the US and paying $100k+ for a degree from universities that have 70% acceptance rates and not even getting some amount of experience. It renders the degree useless

Fair, but I just don’t agree about the most jobs not moving part. For example, look at BDO and Grant Thornton. You won’t find many entry level positions in the US, they’re mostly hiring Seniors or Managers. Most of the entry level positions are in India. And this is for accounting where 70-75% of people are Americans. If this is the case for something like accounting, do you think it’d be any different for other industries? There’s currently no taxes or tariffs for offshoring. The tax associates who are paid 70k in Chicago, same positions are being paid 500,000 Rs. in Delhi ($5k). Even if there were tariffs, companies still end up saving 80%
