The tech community has an interesting role to play here - I wonder how long it will take for gafam to start having issues recruiting skilled foreigners (or simply flying them to the US for interviews.)

It's not too much of a problem now, as t Big Tech is not in the "software business" so much as in the "laying off people to make the stock look good" ; but at some point they'll have to bring people in to actually write code.

Or, are they expexting LLMs to really make the bulk of the jobs?

Or maybe everything settles down in two years, and this is just a bout of neo-McCarthyism.

Time will tell. In the meantime, I guess Europe must not be that bad, if people are organizing conferences here instead of China or Dubai ?

They do hire in LCoL countries (hello from Warsaw). Whether this will make the dent I'm a bit skeptical though. Nobody flies candidates anymore.

I told the last recruiter flat out that it's no longer ethical for me to work for a US company but I don't think many people will do the same.
