Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk: ‘I have many H-1B visas on
Hmm Ah, civil war. I have teams of Analysts in UK, Canada and India. We used to have Analysts in North East US, but they priced themselves out of the market. The offices now are maintained by sales drones and a few consultants. Its gotten hard to recruit now in London, as there is intense competition when you are in the Biotech triangle. Toronto has simlar salaries to London, but easy supply of quality graduates for my specialty roles. The backroom guys we have in India, but also a little team in ASEAN. The pay for a recent graduate in India (and by that, someone with an Indian BS and Indian "MBA") is about £6000 a year. That's decent money for a graduate there. Or it was. We are losing staff to big Pharma who have set up shop in the area, and they are offering 100% payrises. That's difficult to compete with and its breaking the pay model in India. This is one of then reasons that H1B visas are probably now in terminal decline. And its not about jobs being onshored in the US. The likes of Google, Apple etc aren't renting offices in India. They are making huge investments in infrastructure. They are there to stay, and will outlast an Octogenerian Trumpf. There was a time when my Indian analysts would go on about company transfers to the US, because of the incredible apparent salaries. Until I pointed out the cost of stuff there. My opposite number in India is on about 25% of my UK salary, but he lives better than me. He has two properties, maids, his own driver, and recently installed a marble bathroom in his townhouse. Ovr the years, we've noticed the new Indian graduates are becoming less and less employable in a Western setting. India's previous strength was the widespread adoption of English among graduates. Understanding of English is still very good, but Hinglish is gaining the upper hand (English with Hindi grammar), much to the disappointment of my colleague who prides himself on his Irish Nun education. The argument about H1b seems to be an argument about yesterday, and they don't realise the increasing irrelevance. It was always about race -

Is This What It’s Come To? Western Couples Hunting for Ladyboys in Bangkok?
Thank you. It didn't occur to me that these are all blokes with ladyboy fetishes. They probably also don't realize that they are gay or bisexual. Anyway, it makes perfect sense now why they are so defensive. I actually see unusual stuff quite often, but most people wouldn't understand the peculiarity in it so I don't bother posting about it. I reckon mostly you'll get more dudes like them wanting to kill the messenger when you share these kinds of observations. -
