Perhaps you’re the exception to the rule. But I know for a fact that most firms, larger ones especially don’t follow your example. But I am sure you’ll next lecture me that H1B is a great thing.
Why so hostile, partner? I enjoy learning, and am grateful when someone shares their knowledge with me. You seem to take it as an insult.
I’ve worked in technology for 20 years, at companies large and small, and have found equality in salaries to be the norm, not the exception. Companies prefer native born developers. They generally communicate better, and are a better cultural fit for US companies. But there just aren’t enough available.
I’m no fan of H1B visas. I’d rather that income be going to fellow tax-paying citizens.
