I got two calls today from head hunters. Something is up.
Indeed. Shortly after I received a call from company that had been sitting on my resume for two years, I read a series of articles that brought it all together.
The gist was that the Trump Administration was pushing back on H-1B Applications effectively with a simple question, "If this role is so specialized that it requires foreign talent, why are you posting it with an entry-level pay grade?"
I think companies are starting to realize that if they have to pay market wages, they may as well get solid talent.
