what do you guys think of this...
Where do you get this stuff?? There is no IT labor shortage! It is a ploy by companies to get Congress to open the H1-B visa floodgates. Companies don't want to pay American IT talent the high salaries they demand when they can pay a foreignor half. Here is a quote from a recruiter on another board:
'That's exactly right Yankee, why should I pay you more when there's a pool of H1B talent I can tap that works for about 40% of what you make and is indentured to me for years untill their green card arrives?
Mind you, I simply don't care how hard you work or how marketable your skills are. You're just too expensive regardless, and you'll jump ship anyway for another outfit for $10K more per year. I'll put up with culture and language barriers and someone with less skills than you present, because my friend, CASH IS KING, and the less of it I dole out to the minions, the better I look to my management.
Oh, and never mind that my projects are still late, the software is buggy and crashes, or other sundry problems. Saving my boss a ton of bucks on labor costs will get me my next promotion in any event.'
