I know personally companies that laid off a major percentage (50% in one case) of their software engineers to replace them with cheaper foreign and visa workers. I don't know if you've tried to find a job recently, but it's as bad as it's ever been regardless of level of experience.

Don't think US citizens are sitting in luxury. Your company will fire you and replace you with cheaper replacements in an instant.



I quit my job to start my own company. We are immediately profitable and already on trajectory to double my previous income (which was high $1xx,000).

You can replace code monkeys, but you can’t replace people who can use code to solve real business problems on time and under budget.


I wonder if they regularly do this and then re-create the same jobs just to keep people in fear

or else, at this point there would be no domestic jobs period
