Yes, tech salaries have been soaring these past four months.

I have direct hires (senior engineers) who make as much as I did as a Staff engineer a few months ago.

I see the same in biotech and pharma. Easier to get jobs and pay is going up.

Issue is they can't find Americans to do these low paying jobs.
Instead of illegals who didn't go thru health n background check, these might be better option.

Americans don't want to do them, specially with all the money u can make thru welfare. Why the f would u work n make less money than, get more thru welfare.

bowing to their corporate overlords. Currently labor has some negotiating powers, but after importing a few hundred thousand workers it will go away.

Yep can confirm as lead that lead or very senior techs are closing in on their managers salaries. Supply and demand.

Raise salaries and workers will appear. Of course, less money will be available for Big Business owner yachts!!!

Fact is H1B will not end just because people want it to when corporations want H1B.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/14/republicans-join-democrats-import-h-2b-visas/?source=patrick.net

A group of Senate Republicans has joined Senate Democrats to demand President Joe Biden import more H-2B foreign visa workers to take working-class, blue-collar American jobs.

On Monday, 17 Senate Republicans signed a letter with 17 Senate Democrats that urges Biden to “release the maximum allowable number of additional” H-2B foreign visa workers to inflate the labor market despite more than 12 million Americans remaining jobless, though all want full-time employment.

The senators also asked Biden to speed up the process so U.S. employers could get foreign visa workers quicker into blue-collar American jobs, often in construction, landscaping, the tourism industry, and other occupations...

Republicans are no better than Democrats.

These are all corporate sell out RINO's, yes they are replacing Americans. They don't give a fuck, money from corporations makes their life comfortable, they don't care that they are fucking everyone else over in the process. They are fucking fags.

HunterTits says

Translation: I see the writing on the wall and I can't go to VCs with my slide deck full of how we'd leverage H1-B workers anymore.

Boy those are still very common. Even I see those and think to myself… wtf is this?

This has been going on for at least 3 decades, when will it stop? Never? Is it all about money, all the time?

Big Tech Resumed Hiring Foreign Workers Just Weeks After Layoffs

New disclosures released yesterday show Google, Amazon, Facebook, and other firms requesting foreign worker H-1B visas this year.

those people don’t give fucks about anything else.

We need to get this fixed during Trump's second term.

These companies arguing for H1B should be the first to decry DEI, as it dilutes the domestic talent pool. They’re not however, which tells you the motives are more complex.

Musk seems naive on that front, being both opposed to DEI and in favor of expanded H1Bs. How can we tell what the domestic talent is when white men need not apply? Remove DEI, reinstate basic entrance testing (civil service exams, even), and then see what hiring needs remain.

Musk needed to experience Biden’s weaponized bureaucracy (post-Twitter purchase) before he saw through Democrats. Perhaps this too is a learning curve — that you don’t need endless H1Bs if you end discrimination against non-Hispanic whites (and East Asians, to a lesser degree).

Agree with KD here, I think H1Bs should be extremely limited if exist at all.

I've been fucking raging about this all day.

The Big Tech Fucks and their HR Karen Shrews try to conflate O-1 visas, or Einstein visas, with H1Bs.

H1Bs are responsible for Starliner and 737Max "Code". The now ex-CEO of Boeing wrote a memo blasting old White Males for being too finicky about safety and quality, and that they were costing the company tons of money and sang praises of the H1Bs they had doing CAD and Coding.

"HURR DURR, $40K for an accountant is not cheap labor secret doors".


FFS, $40k is cheap for a Gal Friday without any kind of Degree, just some Quickbooks knowledge.

My friend made $60k in 2000 the first year after graduating from a mid-tier school in Accounting... a quarter century ago.

My starting tech salary (h1!) almost 25 years ago inflation adjusted was 140k in today's greenbacks! Shows you how the American economy has gone down the shitter, incl. tech. If you haven't played other avenues such as the stock market or RE on the side, or gunned early for that useless gravy train c suite position, collecting as much "bonus" while bullshiting as much as possible, you lost out.

The H1-B visa program is how the slave masters can legally hire foreigners to replace more expensive (and capable) American workers.
It's entirely bullshit.

A good friend of mine was working at Compaq during the internet boom; after Compaq was acquired by/merged with HP, Carly Fiorina fired him and a bunch of other Americans who were replaced by guys from India with H1-B visas.

My friend was pissed that he had to train the motherfuckers before he left.
He had at that time 1. mortgage 2. two children about to enter college.

I've heard all kinds of bullshit about how brilliant Asian guys are; well I don't know any Americans who willingly drink piss and think cows are people, nor believe seahorses and shark fins are medicinal.

Asians work hard, but they're not innovative except ass kissing, they can charm Oscar the Grouch. When not putting metal into the microwave.

I had to find and fix Indian contractor code that was causing severe problems with performance on our e-commerce site.

Find one function used a lot. Was nested looping. Going through all the users photo albums and then the subalbums and then the photos of each. Then setting some other object with ids or some property that matched whatever they were looking for, etc.

Never mind that they could have used more efficient coding patterns to do that. What I caught was that they didn't end the nested loops once they found what they were looking for. It was like finding the fucking needle in the haystack, passing it off to whatever but still continung counting until that very last straw was done anyway.

And it was for one specific photo at a time.

I shit you not.

Elon just deverified Loomer, over H1B controversy.
https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1872489205764596006

First bad thing I've seen Elon do. Elon wants that sweet cheap H1Bs. Very sad. Hopefully it's just some overenthusiastic H1B visa employee and wasn't ordered by Elon himself.

Also Lindsay just decided that WokeRight includes H1B skeptics, so he blocked my ass. Apparently liberals can't believe in stopping wagebusting scams.

Sigh.

But remember:

Maga_Chaos_Monkey says

In my first job, at Motorola, we were judged on the number of lines of code we produced per day. More code was assumed to be better.

But the best programmers produce negative lines of code per day, making everything more compact and clearer at the same time.

The same STEM programs that foreign-born students and their parents move mountains to try to get into.

We all know the REAL reason. They're Americans, White, and probably Male.

Because nearly all of them are not really more-skilled than an average person and further if they were they'd turn their own nation into a technology powerhouse since they have four times our population or more and plenty of natural resources.

Why, then, would any serious company hire subpar employees? It's the top tier coders that make any real strides/innovations, no?
