    Well yea, why pay an American $200K/year at your San Francisco when you can import 2 H1B’s for the same price working remotely from your “St. Louis, remote” office?

    /s, in case that isn’t obvious.

      My former employer doesn’t bother with H1-B. They just have them work via remote desktop from India and claim that all software is developed in the USA.

        Yeah there’s that, too. I work in the US for a company that won’t let me hire anyone that isn’t in India.
