Goal of my comment wasn't sympathy; but to get the facts out there that the current changes do nothing but to worsen the situation.(...not solving the H1B crisis)

> First, striking “contractor” will avoid potential confusion as the term “contractor” in the definition is misleading. The inclusion of “contractors” in the regulatory language could be read to suggest that contractors should generally qualify under the definition of a “United States employer.” While a contractor is certainly not excluded from qualifying as a “United States employer” for purposes of an H-1B petition, the contractor, like any petitioner, must establish the requisite “employer-employee relationship” with the H-1B beneficiary.
The Pay structure that the article mentions is NOT true anymore. Take a look at the links[1], it's withdrawn and the rule is not valid.
How is hiring folks with a CS degree for an SWE position a solution to H1b abuse?
The rule published here specifically talks about three things(Yes, I read it line by line just so that I can do my due diligence before I comment here)[2]:
1/ Change the meaning of "Speciality Occupation" and tie this to the College degree that the person has.
2/ If you are part of these "body shops" and you are working as a contractor, your visa will only be extended for 1 year.
3/ Some general statements about Site Visits.
4/ No comment on increasing the wage.
The first child comment that we see below is an anecdotal evidence about seeing a house with dozen(?) folks in a 3 BHK flat? What does it do with H1B visa abuse? How is sending money home AFTER taxes H1B abuse?
Still debating how we went from thoroughly researched and thought provoking comments to these.
I don't debate that there is H1B abuse.
- Programmers are paid very less when compared to prevailing wage.
- Programmers cannot leave their employers so employers hold them by their balls and get work done overtime.
- Programmers stay away from their family, contribute to taxes AND to social security. KNOWING that they may never see a day to collect Social security.
All of this is H1B Abuse. There is no evidence that folks on H1B visa compete with a US Citizen's job. (I'm taking about H1B, not offshoring).
Literally NONE of the changes that this administration is doing is addressing ANY of these concerns for both the US Economy and the H1B individual. Comments like these are dangerous since they give an illusion that the administration is doing something to improve the economy, but they are just party tricks.

You can co-relate the RIN numbers(1205-AC00) in the PDF referenced above and this rule. Just a lot of FUD in the comment and WSJ article. I'd hope they do better research than what I did in 30 mins.
Not true. I know this was "withdrawn" yesterday.(see my comment below).
Can you please explain what this means? I'm in the process of changing my work location with the same employer, and uncertain how this could affect me since we've to restart the PERM process. I've my I-140 approved and H1b approval till 2023.

But I am not sure how this affects the situation.
It's not easy, I had to spend 60 hour weeks sometimes while taking the harder classes. There are easy classes as well, where I spent between 3-5 hours every week. You can take a look at the courses here: https://omscentral.com/courses
Bonus: My Employer pays for it and I work evenings.
It's lists, kanban boards, images and a lot of other stuff at one place. Any TODOs I use Quip these days.
I specifically struggle with 2 things:
-- With adulthood and family. I'm not really sure how my parents did it, I feel I'm still not an adult ( married 2 years ago).
-- I did my undergrad in CS, got hired into an IT consultant company, and started working as a developer implementing tool platforms. ( imagine SalesForce, AWS etc., ) for customers. Now I'm working doing the same thing in one of the top 5 companies in the world. I don't like this anymore. I want to branch out and do full stack development, ML, AI OR ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THIS. As I mentioned it's becoming impossible to change my career because 1/ I'm on a visa 2/ I'm married and my wife's doing her graduate courses in the location I live in.
I'm doing my masters on the side, but really at the end of the day I don' have enough patience / will power to do anything else apart from my current work and that's killing me everyday.
Where can learn about general game physics? How are the games designed? How do we make the games tough so as to make sure it doesn't bore players? Basically on "how" I should go about building my game.
I'm not sure where you can get it in the states.
