H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD π§΅
— Robert Sterling (@RobertMSterling) December 29, 2024
I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.
I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

Sounds reasonable. So what are people really bitching about? Having to clean up the loose ends?

I stopped really giving a shit about it a long time ago because I've seen it in action so much. I've worked on projects through Accenture and SRA (big federal government contractor) before and seen first hand what's wrong with their shit (overengineering, too much documentation, too many people, etc). I think the massive bloat and waste of money is offensive, although it's also just one of those things that you can't really do anything about. When I was younger, I thought that this entire field getting flooded with Indians would drive my hourly rates down, but that never came to pass. I don't think increasing H1-Bs is going to change anything significantly.

Thank you for your time and your reasonable opinion. We are all smarter for it.
