In India, some of the biggest jobs in tech come to you.
Graduates of the Indian Institute of Technology (ITT), one of the country’s most prestigious universities, are recruited directly by Indian companies as well as American firms looking to lock down some of the world’s top talent in fields that will dominate the future, such as artificial intelligence and robotics.
Many of them also continue their studies in the United States, where India overtook China last year as the biggest source of foreign students. But policy decisions and other moves by the Trump administration, including the recently announced $100,000 fee for the H-1B skilled immigrant work visa, now have those graduates thinking twice about going to America.
“About 20 students are graduating from my department, and nearly 10 to 15 have a postdoctoral offer from the U.S.,” said Ajaykumar Udayraj Yadav, a materials science and engineering doctoral candidate working on energy storage systems, who is among the student volunteers at the Office of Career Services at IIT’s New Delhi campus.
“But the way they’re seeing the situation develop in the U.S., these students are unwilling to take them up,” he said.

U.S. tech leaders who once held H-1B visas include Satya Nadella, the chairman and chief executive of Microsoft; Sundar Pichai, chief executive of Google and its parent company, Alphabet; and Elon Musk.

“China welcomes outstanding talent from all industries and sectors around the globe to come to China, take root in China, and work together to advance human society,” foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told reporters in Beijing last month.

Suddenly the mainstream media believes in “the American Dream,” and uses the phrase without irony. Wow!
Funny how that suddenly happened.
“China welcomes outstanding talent from all industries and sectors around the globe to come to China, take root in China, and work together to advance human society,” foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told reporters in Beijing last month.
Sure they do.
Interesting...
The first author is an Indian based in Hong Kong...

Hmmmm...
I support saving those jobs for American applicants.
See my reply #6.
Thdn it all makes sense.
Median Indian- American household income $152, 000 (pop 4m +),
building syndicates in the professions
Hopefully they will get these HI-B visas straightened out.
And work for NBC “News”.
He can be “wonderful” back in India for his fellow Indians.
The top 100 graduates from India each year might be worth the extra 100K fee. The top 65000 - very probably not.
Lol
Three American Job Stealing Visas holders over at NBC .
The National Barack Channel
wrote this Barf crap .
the irony is delicious .
There you go. Go to China.
Indians do not hesitate to ensure whites don’t get good jobs.
It would not have been a problem if Big Industry had not abused H1B for the sake of saving money on salaries.
I know someone personally who works in IT for a large IT company and when she has to go to the home office in Cali she witnesses the cast system in it's full glory. HR knows about it but turns a blind eye.
It was abused from the get go. I was in IT for 30 years. Back in 1998 my entire development/IT/data dept was laid off and we had to train our Indo/Paki replacements. 30 of us without jobs who did nothing wrong except being an American. I had to tell my pregnant wife the bad news, she almost miscarried. Worst time of my life. Worse than a death in the family. Caused by corporate greed and a feckless willfully ignorant govt.
So don’t give me that BS.
