I am from NZ and currently live in Canada. My US “employer” has tried for a long time, years in fact, to find a senior engineer with the speciality I work in. I’ve worked in this speciality around the world, and am well versed in what it takes to get temporary and permanent work visas in several different countries...

What Apple and Google etc are doing, there’s nothing to see here. This is basically click bait.

However what is more of note, is that while the supply of top end, skilled and speciality software engineers is ridiculously constrained in the US, if you’re not one of the big guys like Google and Apple, youre pretty screwed.

Either train more highly skilled software engineers, or allow more from over the borders and stop the stupid rhetoric about stealing jobs from Americans.
