The lure of H1B is the indenturing. It takes employers a lot of effort to retrain new staff. Having H1B handle the tedious parts of business means they can be assured that business knowledge will stay with them for another 6-10 years until its time to replace it.
They don't rock the boat.
The pay is below market rate almost always unless the guy is in FAANG or some big firms.
They also are set up to answer all the off-hours calls, trouble tickets, holiday-time tickets, etc. I've never seen American folks hang around for those issues. It always goes to Rajesh or Venkat or Srini..
Getting rid of H1B, and also ensuring companies don't outsource everything away - should be priority # 1.
Stock prices will take a hit. Fuck em. We chose this over that.
