Another thing I've run into is fake postings to fulfill h1b requirements. I don't fully understand the requirements but sometimrs companies have to have attempted to fill a role for a year before they can bring in somebody else. I interviewed with a Company recently that was American based but 90% of management and staff as far as I could tell were Indian. The hr rep on the opening screen call was overly hostile and skeptical. It was clear he hadn't actually read my resume until the meeting and then proceed to try to poke holes in my resume. Made subtlety rude comments throughout the whole thing. It felt like I was being provoked or neged. I think outside of glass door reviews there is little to no accountability for companies during this process. I started recording (single party state) all my interviews with monosnap and automatic call recording via ringcentral. I've been thinking of making a blog post with a highlights reel. |

In academia (at least the country I was in), it's very hard to move up a salary level. There's a lengthy internal, for higher levels even an external, review process with letters of support that have to be written, a panel that meets only every few months, etc. Going from academic level A to B can take six months. It's far faster to have your supervisor create a level B position hypertailored to you and have you apply, for me that took less than half the time. No letters of support, only one interview panel, you can finish all prerequisites in a few weeks.
Plus your supervisor gets to, as it's called in OP's article, 'talent-hoard'; there might be a good CV coming through for a future position.
