Yaaku,
It is true that companies try to save money. However, what you should realize is that employee cost is just a fraction of the revenue they make . Check this post mashable.com/2012/02/07/tech-company-value-per-employee/ for more details. I am not saying that companies dont like to cut their expenses; However, growing and generating more revenue is their higher priority. I am just saying that what Sexy in Sari believes STEM to be a grand design by companies to pay the IT workers lesser is absolutely bs. And a bunch of numbers he threw out there is bogus. Also, when I said recruiting is hard, I meant for all positions. Both entry level and senior position. Also, we are not in the Bay area. One more addition, the unwillingness to relocate is not only for people with houses but with people just out of college too. Most of them have friends and family and they would not want to move to a different state if they could get a decent paying job right there. We hire a lot of students out of college and still it is hard to find students who fit the basic reqs. I didnt say indians are better and by the way H1B is not only about indians. There are a lot of talented folks that come here on H1B from China, Europe, South America, and Africa too. I am not saying H1B is going to solve the problem entirely but it is a temporary solution and it has worked so far. Permanent solution would have to come in from the education system here . I was just concerned with Sexy in Sari's narrow view of H1B , STEM and his belief that it is some sort of conspiracy by nature. Hope I made myself clear.
