As long as you keep telling yourself that instead of honing your skills, passing an interview will continue being a struggle.

The issues around H1B visas are ruining American work culture and have been for some time. TBH, it’s already captured and I think it’s too late to fix it

But that's exactly the point of those visas! It's all about leverage. I truly hope that one day, centuries from now, we will look at the fact that people working for the richest man in the world had to poo in bags to work harder and faster with disgust

get visa in countries that allow remote work. Portugal, Thailand, China now issue good vias that let you work for a company anywhere in the world and stay many years in the country, or start your own business.

don't let your employer keep you and your family hostage with your legal status

You honestly don’t think they already do that as much as possible?

It’s by salary. Individuals don’t pay for it, the company sponsoring them does. Did you even read the article?

That’s not an H1B, there are other visas for that

If you read the article, that’s pretty much what its going to

Did you read the article? H1B isn’t going out, it just isn’t random anymore

That’s a good point, although of you’ve interviewed at big tech, plenty of times they’re just treating it like a standardized test.
