This is what happens when you pay ENGINEERS less than 100k in NYC! This is what happens when you hire a bunch of H1Bs! This is what happens when you don't invest in tech infrastructure!

Why aren't Vladimir Tenev and Baiju Bhatt being acquihired? Why isn't David Byttow making 1 million plus as a full stack engineer for the NYSE? It's because companies, even those heavily dependent on their systems, see tech workers as a cost instead of THE business.

This will more than likely never change. Underpaid engineers vastly outperform their salaries. But when things like this happen I can't help but feel a little glee.

What are you trying to say? That somehow American born engineers are better than those from the rest of the world?

The attitude of a small subset of people in this country is a constant reminder of why I don't feel at home here.
