Hire American, problem solved. Bright young people, fluent in English, less likely to sell secrets to foreign countries. And sage mature techies.
Love this. Great for the future of American college grads.
Hi tech has been shafting American talent for decades, using blatant age discrimination and H1Bs to hire indentured servants from China and India. Women thus eschew hi tech because they value job security (family).
A friend's husband went to a tech college in the 1980s, took 3-4 programming classes, and landed a well-paying career in tech. No college degree. That's likely not happening today. There are actually cases now where hi tech East Indian employers are allegedly discriminating against other East Indian employees based on their (supposedly dead) caste status. Human resources departments filter out Americans with many different strategies, including requiring a Masters degree for basic coding.
a real tear jerker there
"Human resources departments filter out Americans with many different strategies, including requiring a Masters degree for basic coding." I have a feeling you know nothing about these roles.
I have actively been involved in these processes and hires in the past. You cannot filter out anyone for those roles, in fact you have to post them and collect citizen job apps before you proceed with an H1B.
India has incredible universities for these roles. Your friend's hubby going to Heald College in Rocklin and having 3 classes that are basically high school level will not cut it in an age where AI tools can be set to hack your systems 24/7.
