4 Years in the USA | A Milestone and a Guide

Reflecting on four years in the USA and a comprehensive guide to setting up your life as a new immigrant on H1B.

Tech giants are playing a shell game with American workers. 🛑
Step 1: Lay off thousands of qualified U.S. engineers.
Step 2: Replace them with H1B labor to slash costs.
Step 3: Direct the savings to shareholders.
The "talent shortage" is a myth—it's about labor costs, plain and simple. We need an H1B moratorium now to prioritize the workers who built this industry. #TechLayoffs #H1B #WorkforceProtection

Back in the 90s, I had a friend from #India on a #h1b say, "they don't want me here, so I will go home."

And he did.

And he is, to date, happy with that choice. He got married, has kids, and lives well. Great guy, Sanjay.

So. I have seen this before.
