The Truth
I hope liberals don't hop on the "haha white people" angle of this. H1B is heavily exploited by corporations and it doesn't only hurt white grads. It hurts black people. Trucker jobs are going to H1B applicants now, specifically from China. Entry level accounting jobs. Book keeping. Farming hands. Take a step back from just focusing on the engineering jobs. A lot of different jobs are using this exploit. Why? Because you can pay them less, work them 90 hours a week and they can't do shyt. What are they gonna do, quit? They lose the visa and get deported. They have to stay employed to remain in the US.

I'm open to shytcanning H1B. I'm open to heavily reforming it. Either way it will benefit Americans. This is not anti-immigrant sentiment either. A more open immigration process would allow more competition instead of allowing corporations to cherry pick a bunch of [insert group] to drive trucks, be engineering grunts, work in sales etc.

I fully support the O-1 visas, which are the ones for foreign geniuses. That's completely different, and more in line with the "bring the best to America" mantra that I have no issue with. But bringing a socially retarded Indian engineer over here because you can make him work 90 hours a week and under pay him compared to a (admittedly less smart) black/white/etc American is not sustainable.

I’ma chill talking about this for a little.

But us over in that tech layoff thread and other engineering threads been talking about this. People been trying to find solutions for it, but it’s out of our hands without Kamala and Democrats standing in the way.

It goes beyond tech as well: where you think all those immigrants will work when there are fewer tech jobs? That’s right, regular jobs they’re more than qualified for. Skilled physical labor? Immigrants will make robots to automate that too.

That’s why it’s so funny, folks been warning about this. Saw this coming years away, literally.

@IIVI any good books you recommend that delve on what you have been saying in this thread and in the tech layover thread??

The Truth
If Biden loosened restrictions, how is he exempt from the convo :why:

And Trump went wrong by platforming Vivek & Elon and should've went after big tech much harsher about these policies. He and/or Kamala should have laid out a specific policy to curb companies from leveraging H1B visas to the detriment of US workers
Man, yall nikkas need to let this politics shyt go… yall the nikkas Elon be talking about :mjlol:


Is this what YOU voted for when you voted for Trump?

All Elon Musk has to do is say “Hey everybody…I was talking about BLACK Americans, not ALL Americans”, and the tide against him would immediately turn.

Blacks get preferential treatment when it comes to jobs just like H1B visa hires. Don’t play victim Pastor
The only group that’s been held down is white men, that’s a fact

Dumb ass hell :mjlol:

Replace sociopathic millionaire career politicians with sociopathic billionaire businessmen who wield EVEN MORE power, control and influence than the guys from the old administration.



What could possibly go wrong? :skip:

But hey, to them, I'm just one of those "low IQ Blacks" who doesn't work in STEM, so how could I ever possibly think in a logical manner? :coffee:

@IIVI any good books you recommend that delve on what you have been saying in this thread and in the tech layover thread??
In terms of Lay-offs all I can say is to keep your skills sharp. It’s going to be tough and there’s no telling what this administration will do to the market. Check your local area’s tech stacks and try to learn those. However, when you’re comfortable start applying for remote roles.

Try to chase a degree if you don’t have one (a lot of good online options).

ChatGPT stuff you don’t know (use it to blast through degree courses). ChatGPT is a monster of knowledge. It may get some things wrong, but not often (depending on what you’ve asked it).

Unfortunately, I have no hacks or tricks other than learn the fundamentals and grind some Leetcode (check Neetcode on YouTube and ChatGPT). Keep working on interview skills, practice answering interview questions with the STAR format. Then keep sending out resumes. It’ll basically be like a job.
