Why do you think the H1B will work for 50k/year? Where are you located?

Wouldn't it be more clear to say that for hiring approach, now the unexpected burden of tagging on a new 100k fee works as a negative coloring (as it I think intends (ostensibly)) to these candidates then? How was the 100k already priced in?

I'm not following. So you're saying the cap on engineers' salaries follows a rule of H1B visa fee + $50k? Doesn't that mean that cap has increased?

they are saying that a H1B worker is in practice gonna get paid 100k less, cost 100k more to the employer, or something in between.
