It's hard to predict what will really happen. Some businesses will hire more IT personal overseas, to amortize the costs and avoid H1B application at all. Some will start really searching for a local talent with higher price (that's what this idea is meant to do I guess). But considering that IT reports constantly shortage on candidates, a big gap indeed, regardless top notch universities, makes me think it's not about problem of lack of open positions, what this new idea aims to solve, it's about a will to do that job or not. Still, I'm talking about IT sector. In other areas of life things may be way different. |

you need to append "at the wage we are offering"
at 1 million per year, do you think there would still be a shortage? how about 500k?
Salaries are so bad in IT compared to development that I decided a couple months ago to start making the transition. I cant reasonably continue pursuing a career trajectory that i know will make me less money, and that is not valued by organizations.
add to this the demands for IT jobs:
certifications (costs hundreds of dollars per, need to refresh them every year or two)
experience with laundry lists of technologies (i.e cisco networking experience is apparently not valid if this employer uses juniper/pfsense/etc.)
probably the worst hours in the industry (yes devs get pagerduty, its not comparable)
compare that to:
literally no certification requirements (dont even need a high school diploma for many places)
much better hours
add to that substantially better pay, and its a real wonder why there is a 'shortage of candidates'
