It looks like El Presidente Donald has increased H1B prices from $4,500 to $100,000 each for companies, curious on how/if this will change TIAA’s outsourcing efforts?

We are a global organisation and this would mean we can increase staff outside the US without to much impact on the organisation. So long clients do not want to pay extra for employees in the US. TIAA and other companes will go for the cheapest option.
Also reading through these comments, Please rememeber we are all Americans, don't let politics devide us.
@g9 100% This ! American Call Centers are BS. Need to be replaced by AI with the automated voice of T. Brown F*uckett.
@ed Roger "coke bottle glasses" Ferguson.
Taxing companies (to oblivion) who outsource would be a better solution.
@g8 American domestic call centers aren't that great
@eg The customer service provided by call centers in the Phillipines is amazing. Cheap, empathetic, and competent.
@ef Economy is hurting indeed and the current administration is caring more about his ego then actually about America.
They'll just offshore more jobs, India is growing and so are the employees in the Philippines. Rumor is that they will be moving the call centers offshore to reduce costs.
No impact at all to TIAA. Offishore is allready lauging since the Don is on it's way to destroy the economy of the USA.
Zero impact. TIAA opened its own India operation during the Roger Ferguson era to avoid immigration issues.
America First
@OP It will lead to more direct outsourcing to Romania, Pakistan, the Phillipines and India. However, I also heard the DJT #47 administration is considering tariffs of up to 50% to 100% on companies who outsource IT to India. We need home grown and hungry IT talent here in the USA but no one wants to pay the $90 an hour all in (comp & bennies) for stack developer
