I saw someone's title is GRVM Application development, does that mean they are contractors ? or hired by the bank with H1B visa ?

There have been hardly any senior or lead positions open in the data space. Even if something is posted, looks like they are mostly labor filing related openings and you get a response back that you do not meet the expectations. No calls no nothing but just a rejection. This all seems to be internal referrals and 3P conversions or referrals taking up the roles or is it true that there is no need for data related roles at USAA. What's the deal?

Nobody in the US can write computer programs anymore, they asked in LinkedIn to tick some compliance boxes. Nobody found.

BlackRock has deliberately violated the intended purpose of the H1B visa by sponsoring many junior positions such as analysts and associates. These roles are typically suitable for qualified American young professionals, yet BlackRock prefers to hire foreign workers on H1B visas. The reason for this appears to be discriminatory practices, as managers—often of Chinese or Indian origin—favor hiring foreign candidates over qualified Americans. Additionally, their interview process is unfair to American applicants. H1B visas should not be permitted for junior-level roles at BlackRock, as this practice harms job opportunities for young Americans. The government must take action against a system that allows companies like BlackRock to exploit H1B visas, resulting in American workers losing jobs unfairly.

so, why is there so much H1B at Dell, or even in other countries, when there are a ton of US based workers that have been laid off. I thought the purpose of H1B is to use folks from other countries when there aren't enough qualified US people to do the same job. I think in this current economy, we have moved beyond that. We have plenty of qualified US workers to do the jobs being done by H1B workers here in the US. I feel H1B is being abused and not used for its intended purpose. Companies are using it for cheap labor. I'm willing to be that there are plenty of laid off US workers that would be do the same job for the price they're paying the H1B people. Seems like we need to make a shift in this now changing landscape.

Beginning in March our contracting firms will begin losing their employees as H1b renewals fail, or Nike is forced to eat +25% salary increases.

Executives will naively think they can continue using the same person by sending the role overseas too, but our offshored teams have been underperforming (despite the rosy metrics they share to leadership). Only underdone by teams slapped together without care for colliding working hours and bedtimes.

Tighten your seatbelts. 2027 will be dumpster fire after dumpster fire.

Is it true there are no h1b renewals/extensions being done? That’s another way to reduce
