Some companies use Universities to hire foreign Software engineer with the title of "Research Associate", lower wage, same job. Then claiming that they are recruiting the best in the world while providing a very low wage (research associate prevailing wage instead of SE). It can get worse, I have a friend that has been under a J1 for years, while he is not a student anymore. The company pays a student salary (2k/month) instead of a H1B prevailing wage.
