“Great news... For H1B workers.”
A friend works in downtown Columbus as a programer for a insurance company..Mid 50’s in age. He is one of the few white guys left. All indian.
He has 2 or 3 more years for his pension to kick in at the higher level. Trust me he is counting the days.
He goes down to his car and eats his lunch listening to 70’s and 80’s music to unwind.
He is a dinosaur like me.
I would advise your friend to keep that job for a long as possible, since it will be his last IT job.
For Columbus, I’ve seen recruiters hawk openings for:
- Wendy’s
- Limited Brands
- an Insurance company
- possibly a bank, with offices downtown

Recently, I re-wrote an IT resume for someone in Boston. This fellow is homeless & is living out of his car. I’ve sat on speakerphone calls, where he’s being offered $25 per hour as a contractor, with no benefits. This is no future for dinosaurs.
Amtrak is hiring conductors for the Northeast Corridor. I need to sit down with my homeless IT friend & get him to apply. Amtrak would be a better deal than the crap these Desi bodyshops are selling.
