both major parties have sold out workers, the only real choice is the green party, workers' party, etc

If you were right, we wouldnt have millions of h1s being hired in the US.

You cant have offshore workers away from family, alone in a foreign country, with an RTO mandate, and glued to a desk in SF, constantly worried about deportation. This is about control, power, and abuse.

))) Yeah that's bull. I'm not saving any costs with a Visa sponsored employee.

It often isnt about saving money, it is about having fragile immigrant workers on a leash that you can control with the constant threat of layoff--->deportation

))) Wiped out is maybe the wrong word - they are more heavily being off-shored right now.

Once the next year of grads come, it is a wipe-out, because you now have multiple years of graduates competing for the same one position. Also, you often dont want damaged goods -- better to hire the fresh grad from this year's batch than a grad from 1 or 2yrs ago who has been unemployed.

the market is brutal

Commenting anon, because i'm very concerned about how we are leaving the industry for our children, and how little executives care about the future.

1. anything we used to give to entry-level we now give to offshore workers, typically in Asia. While mean wages metrics look great, the cost savings are an illusion because we spend twice as much time communicating and tacking back and forth to the final answer across timezones. compensation consultants dont care about that, they care about mean wage metrics

2. people are are told to hire h1 only -- not explicitly -- but implicitly

3. tech execs hired into the org have relationships with major h1 placement agencies and place from those exclusively, the jobs are advertised with impossible requirements and then quickly sent to h1 pools

4. it is ridiculous to expect a computer science grand to "driving forklifts, construction, moving, factory work" -- what was the point of grinding thru 12yrs of intense schooling if you were going to throw the kids under the bus when they graduate?

5. ai is part of it, perhaps for certain jobs, but it isnt AI causing the issues in technology
