The h1b is horrifically abused and is the main reason that IT is not the decently paid niche that it used to be. There now are a ton of cheap gormless morons working in the place of what was a much smaller FTE work force of highly skilled, hard-working and motivated people. The key word here is cheap and by God does buying cheap cost dear in lost quality.

I have seen formerly great IT titans on Wall Street like Morgan Stanley then (90s) and now (2 years ago) the difference made me feel like Charlton Heston in the final scene of the original Planet of the Apes.

Become what you are
