> 200-300k base with 15% annual bonus and equity ($300k-750k when I was working at public companies. I can't speak to my portfolio company's equity practices) is not a shit wage

That was what we were offering, but we were also demanding on quality and skill required.

We ended up getting some top performers in Israel and India for a fraction, despite being ready to pay the above.

I don’t believe you couldn’t find anyone for 750k. At least throw out a believable number. Also you know very well that the majority of H1b is for generic web dev jobs and not OS internals or whatever you were hiring for.

They probably made ridiculous requirements on the listing to show they posted the job and could not find people that met the description so they could hire an H1B

> to show they posted the job and could not find people that met the description so they could hire an H1B

Kinda telling that the so called smart people who have trouble getting hired have no clue that that's not a requirement for H1B.

The midwest is not sending their best.
