I look at it differently: tech companies get away with paying our immigrant peers less because they can, and we should work toward addressing that so that all of us benefit.



From looking at my companies internal “anonymous” #pay-equity Slack channel. I don’t see that as being the case.

The Slack channel is anonymous via a Slack workflow that posts on your behalf. As part of the workflow, it allows you to self identify your ethnicity and location.


Those self-reported salaries would be higher, on average, if companies didn't have access to a labor pool with workers willing to work for less.


Yes you’re right. We need to unionize. How are we going to feed our families and have and live the American dream only making $160K+ straight out of college up to $350k+ and the tech company I work for is considered the “frugal FAANG”.

If you stymie immigration, what’s to stop companies from just expanding their overseas offices?
