Actually there have been articles on how the tech boom in India is directly correlated to the 2008 financial crisis and tightening of H1B visas.

The reverse brain drain might not be long term but if that trend continues I dont think the western world has to worry much about jobs being lost.

I disagree that San Jose has a decent public transit system. Even if you have to use caltrain, you have to drive to the caltrain station which makes it incredibly difficult for tourists and non car owners.

I understand what they are attempting, but I guess I was more intrigued by the "gaming" part. Was hoping they found some loophole, but its not very interesting if they are acting as regular recruiters.

So the solution is transfering them to triplebyte and then match them to a startup?

Who pays them in the meanwhile because I believe its illegal to be on H1b and not be employed (being paid)?

Given that it is also comparably inexpensive

I had to pay 150$ for a 1 month visa, so I don't know how they can encourage tourism with such high visa costs.
