Do you feel the H1B system denies jobs to Americans or suppresses wages for those with jobs?


> Do you feel the H1B system denies jobs to Americans or suppresses wages for those with jobs?

Yes.

If you have a problem with that, move to Europe.

The US is known for making money. Not for taking care of its citizens.


So zero data give by you to support your view that H1B lowers wages (as usual, because data shatters the fake narrative H1B lowers wages).

So according to you

  1. H1B lowers wages,
  2. America is known for making money
  3. Yet more professionals from Europe want to move to the US than the other way around (as seen in this thread)

Don't you see how 2 and 3 contradict 1?

Also, despite H1B why are developer salaries higher in the US than in Europe?

Are European companies exploiting their workers?


> Don't you see how 2 and 3 contradict 1?

Nope.

Because even with the lower H1B wage, it is still 3x higher than Europe.

Europeans know this. Americans know this. And you know this.

> Are European companies exploiting their workers?

Nope.

It just turns out, ambitious Europeans don’t give a shit about work life balance. Hence the desire to move to US.


How does Ukraine's work-life balance look like now and before the war?

The story of the ant and grasshopper has been taught for ages.
