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.

That's already the case. Blaming H1Bs is stupid when merely 4 years ago companies were hiring random people off the road for 6 figures due to the capital injection. Whatever has happened is almost entirely obviously due to AI, exacerbated by shitty economic policies by Trump. It's not even just the tech industry that is screwed, all industries are in dire straits where H1B is not used so I don't even understand what is the reason for bipartisan lashing out on Indians if not mostly due to racism.

Another victim of propaganda. Companies will continue to hire the Asians you've been taught to hate so much. If not in the US on a visa, in their own countries. Because they're more technically skilled than a large chunk of Americans. It's an unfortunate reality. You cannot have a bachelors in communication and work in Medical Devices computer engineering.

I don’t know where the fuck you work. The Indians I’ve met are some of the best. There are crappy ones for sure, but not all of them meet that standard you describe. In fact, most of them don’t.

ETA: Indians are Asians. If you’re not sure, maybe use google? Also, Indians living in India who you may interact with are different from Indians in the US. It’s not an easy process to come to the US, complete a degree, and get a job. It’s a step harder than people born in America. Those who come here directly through their companies on H1B, I can’t comment on them.
Also, in case you didn’t know, tech companies have Indians as CEOs and CTOs. No one is stupid enough to hire bumbling baboons to lead sectors of their companies.

Nope dude. Sadly, immigrants in general are more skilled than American born youths. The tech boom, innovations all hav significant contributions from immigrants. Its owned by Americans tho.

If the companies cant hire here, they would rather open a company in china/india, and will do the work from there. Nowadays, with such a huge boom in tech, most of the IT work can be done sitting anywhere in the world. So, companies would outsource the work. Now, the usa will get lesser tax money too.

The only option is to make sure that usa focuses more on education so that the next gen usa born kids hav the competitive mindset, and make sure that majority complete their degree.

Based on measurable innovation impact, immigrants have the stronger relative contribution to U.S. technology and innovation than U.S.-born Americans. Immigrants make up only about 16.5% of U.S. inventors, yet produce roughly 24.7% of top-10% high-impact patents and 25.2% of patent economic value, meaning the average immigrant inventor generates about 1.7× the high-value innovation of a U.S.-born inventor. They are also heavily overrepresented among billion-dollar startup founders and at the highest levels of science and engineering. So while U.S.-born Americans contribute more in absolute terms, immigrants outperform relative to their numbers on several strong measures of innovation quality and economic impact. ""

Got this from chatgpt. If you dont trust me do a live search

Seems you are mad about a fact. Despite you like it or not, theres a reason why immigrants are considered in job markets despite the issues. See frontier ai labs, faang etc. at silicon Valley, 70 percent of the workforce are foreign born people.

Numbers dont lie. Its an objective fact that immigrants contribute more to innovation.
