>>I have degreed friends with 10+ years experience who can’t get a job in the USA in tech because h1-B visa will work for 1/4<<

I flag the BS flag. H1-Bs are about 2/3 of USA wages.

Although that is significant it doesn’t bother me b/c Indians can’t actually CREATE anything. They excel at duplicating things — slavishly mind you.

Example: Report A needs a new subtotal break, but wants the original report. Indian solution: Copy Report A to create Report B and add the new break.

My (and most American developers) solution: Add an option to Report A to include (or not) the new subtotal.

Why is My option superior? If changes are made to the complexity of the report they need only be made to Report A. The Indian solution requires the IDENTICAL changes to Report A AND Report B (and I have seen this scenario with 10!!!! copies of the same report program).

The Indian solution is always to fix what is in front of them and not worry about the bigger picture. It is why Deloitte lost a $100 million Dell contract and BE lost a $250 million lawsuit to The Carlyle Group and went BK.

The cheap comes out expensive.

Anyone who claims they are priced out by H1B just means they are not good at what they purport to do.
