H-1B visas must end’: Wife of US citizen shares plight of landing IT jobs

[PK781]

don't worry, soon the purge will come and it won't be pretty for any of the non-white people. Economies are stagnant, and soon these companies will begin the massive layoffs
i give it max 2 yrs, 2026 will be bad in terms of economy and jobs, EVERYWHERE, specially in north america (usa and canada)

its ok if u guys don't wanna believe it however.

Many will consider opportunities in the middle East or Europe before staying in India.

Let's see, I actually don't think anything drastic will happen here.

And it's kind of weird how America has just woken up to this

There are similar cries now in almost all developed nations, where Indians have got hold of the systems due to corporate greed. It started with cheap labour in call centres and spread to IT support jobs, then further to programming.

But the Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Brits are all realising that having Indians on their soil is a massive problem. First of all, Indians are famous for recruiting their own.
From a store to now high-tech jobs, Indians would give the jobs mainly to the Indians. These nations are now finding it out.

Due to the constant scams run in the west by the Indians sitting somewhere in a small office in India also waking up folks, their perceptions about Indians are changing rapidly.

The folks think that most Indians are not genuine at all; their qualifications and experience also could be questionable.

Lastly, Indians are getting a bad reputation due to their dirty habits and hygiene. They are loitering and trying to do funny Bollywood dances en masse whenever and wherever the opportunity arises.

If we look at X and YouTube, jeets are under severe attack, and things will change in the near future.

The level of salty obsession over Indians doing well in tech is hilarious. Suddenly Pakistanis are out here worrying about the creative white tech workers being pushed out? Please. This isnt about Americas future, it’s just frustration that Indians climbed the ranks while you guys are still throwing commentary from the sidelines.

Can't say there is some truth in your post especially with Pakistanis feeling left out--hey, both countries are at each other's throats all the time-- except Indians climbed up mostly using shady practices otherwise Indian techies are not something special. On the contrary, per my own experience. There is the English language advantage but so do several other countries have that, especially from the British Commonwealth countries.

America didn’t become great by doing socialism or hiding behind protectionist walls. Its strength came from openness, talent, capitalism, and competition and those same reasons will keep it great for a long time.

America became great because of its European heritage, including smart European immigrants.

Unfortunately for India, the bad, even outright filthy, social behavior exhibited by Indians in India and abroad has been noticed, especially in Canada. Not that Pakistan is all that great but, boy, Pakistan seems so much civilized and clean compared with a very large part of India and many Western tourists who go to both countries are starting to notice that.

So it's going to be a good year for more jobs in Bangalore, hope your predictions come true

 

[Vikramaditya1]

After X location feature went public the whole H1B debate has been in low volume. Lol!

 

[vasanthm]

Don't be too sure about that. The MAGA really doesn't like you.

I'm very sure they don't like us and it's not our job to worry abt things we can't control

Something we can finally agree on.

The initial point made was a bit of a trap to incite this response


Individual Indians is not India doing well in tech.

The question of corporate capture is a social national economic one within USA, and it's being addressed by Americans

Americans of all types are annoyed, clearly, a few might be pakistani origin,

Saying individual Indians don’t reflect India doing well misses the point. When a country keeps producing human resource that US companies choose to hire even at specific price points, that is capability. Plenty of countries are poorer, but they’re not getting hired at scale for a reason and we benefit from jobs being moved to India.

The corporate capture angle is an internal US discussion. In reality, American firms pick Indians because the output justifies the cost. It’s economics, not charity. American capitalism is built on efficiency, whatever metric matters to them and a few online complaints won’t override that. The MAGA noise around this is mostly political theatre anyway. They made the debate, blocked the opposition from milking it, and it’ll fade like every other non issue.

It just reflects jobs in tech, it does not reflect technological ability for India.

Which is actually an interesting disparity, as you've had a good few decades heavily within the American tech ecosystem.

Much of the h1b debate in any case has been that not all jobs sent require much tech or need any specialist, anyone could do it.

Not long ago it was a non-issue, now it's an issue that will go away, in reality the system is just being recalibrated to work in the way it was stated to.


It could help with the GCC initiatives going on, I didnt know much about them before, it might be that those jobs and functions move to India and that benefits multinationals more

I’m not denying that plenty of H1B roles are routine. Honestly, I want more of that mid tier white collar work to shift to India, it gives scale and jobs to millions of graduates who aren’t all operating at superstar level. But the reason this works is the small subset of top Indian talent that built the credibility for the whole ecosystem. It’s like luxury brands, a few high end flagship products create the halo that lets the brand sell to the masses.

And on top of that, India provides the kind of sheer volume and operational smoothness that makes things frictionless for Western companies. Even if alternatives exist on paper, most firms won’t bother when the Indian pipeline already works. So as an Indian, I’m really not bothered by the US debate, if anything, the recalibration ends up benefiting us in the long run.

It's bloody disgusting. There is no justification for it whatsoever (and it causes business standards/quality to stagnate, if not regress). And it is entirely contrary to merit based principle. It is the very definition of "quota politics" gone mad, and it is of extra burden with regards to Indians because of the enormous population burden of Indian economic migrants on western countries.

It's additionally remarkable because the folks coming over are the very same who rail against any "special treatment" for anyone other than themselves when they are sitting in the motherland. Uniform Civil Code is all well and good except when non-uniformity is the need of the hour.

Notwithstanding that, the baseline nepotism in south Asian nations is already quite substantial, and as such, the last thing western nations should tolerate is the very same nepotism being imported from India!

My dear distant cousin from the western scrublands, while you are correct in theory as always, the fact is that western nations are not only tolerating but encouraging import of Indians.

@r3alist bro

you've had a good few decades heavily within the American tech ecosystem.

You need to ask yourself the next logical question. Or rather your countries' policymakers should.

Why Indians, not Pakistanis? Or at least why not both- in a say 7:1 ratio.

Remember that until 1991, you were far closer to USA than IND was. And at least until around 2010, you were at least as close to them as IND was.

So it's going to be a good year for more jobs in Bangalore, hope your predictions come true

You are coping. Indians are worried about losing significant amount of the $140 BBBillion / year business which comes from Indians' presence in America. And that's why lobbies are working to mitigate for the H1B changes.
There is no way Bangalore is going to generate enough to make up for the loss or India will be able to provide the same income to Indian workers as they get in America. But then... eventually, like water flows downhill, Capital also follows profit and they come from cheaper labor. Eventually...
