!process Not getting Ro anymore fs

[cedar kettle]

what happened

😔

[lofty mica]

h1b

its signed

[acoustic spade]

wdym

[tame stone]

companies need to pay 100k per h1b application now

by executive order

so intl student hiring 📉

[cedar kettle]

shit that sucks sorry man

[exotic acorn]

Bro what

I hope trump will meet kirk soon

[red geyser]

U think it’ll get struck down in court soon

Probably ngl

[pseudo hemlock]

Not seeing much hope in terms of reverting the order

It will delay it for sure though

[tame stone]

probably not but im surprised all the tech companying lobbyists couldnt do anything to stop it

[red geyser]

Damn

Chalk this

[acoustic spade]

the supreme court is stacked with his buddies so idk man 💀

[red geyser]

District courts tho

[edgy sphinx]

wait so your RO got rescinded?

[lofty mica]

I havent gotten it yet, was waiting

[pseudo hemlock]

No the executive order

[edgy sphinx]

is it official now?

[pseudo hemlock]

Fresh signed 40 mins ago I think

Guess we going to canada guys

[edgy sphinx]

fuck it

[light tusk]

wasnt it a guaranteed RO?

[exotic acorn]

Gotta stay in canada or pay 60k for masters in us lol

[lofty mica]

They would 100% cancel it if they have to pay a 100k for sponsor

[light tusk]

no shot

[proven nebula]

wait this is so cooked for internationals

[acoustic spade]

What do you mean bro that's half the salary itself 😭

no way they're paying that

[cedar kettle]

would you take it if they reduced the salary by 100k

wait idt companies can do that

[red geyser]

Won’t they just offshore

Everything

?

[lofty mica]

yeah idt they can

[proven nebula]

big tech is already in the process of doing that but this will def speed it up

[red geyser]

Yea so everyone’s fucked

doesn’t help anyone

yo did u get zon ro already

[acoustic spade]

i was reading some reddit threads and ppl were speculating they'd tariff that asw

[red geyser]

Oh bet we’re saved

[cedar kettle]

how do you even tariff offshoring

it's not possible

[acoustic spade]

most tech companies are incorporated in delaware, they could make a rule saying any company that's incorporated in the US must standardize pay across all locations

[cedar kettle]

they'll just use an overseas contractor then

[light tusk]

The new policy is basically a drastic change that makes companies recalculate their workforces and things. There’s no way they can instantly hire local citizens to make up for these postions in just a year...

Think about OpenAI nearly half of its workforce is foreign. in big tech, 10xxx of their workforce are foreigners. how could these companies fill the gaps within just a year?

[acoustic spade]

or tariff each hire

[cedar kettle]

which a lot already do

[acoustic spade]

it'd be pretty easy to account for this too

"anybody who does significant work for the company, whether directly hired or not"

[red geyser]

So we’re saved @acoustic spade ?

[acoustic spade]

idk man

[cedar kettle]

i feel like legal teams would obliterate this in court it's so vague

also standardizing pay is a mess since there's huge differences even here between states

[acoustic spade]

yea ofc im just spitballing here

[acoustic spade]

idk i mean it's specific enough

[cedar kettle]

idts it's a massive can of worms

[acoustic spade]

if u contribute in any way to furthering a company's goals u can all be in like one bucket

but im not a lawyer nor do ik that much ab employment laws

[cedar kettle]

like is this used to argue for people who do similar things

[tame stone]

existing visas aren’t affected

it only really affects new hires

[light tusk]

what are the differences?

@tame stone

[acoustic spade]

affects renewals too

[light tusk]

can someone vote for me to become a president so i can overthrow trump

[light tusk]

bro im an intern

currently

[acoustic spade]

i see what you're saying but there are tens of thousands of citizens applying for each role i really dont think there's any shortage of talent

[light tusk]

why cant they make it to open ai bro

[tame stone]

oh my bad i didnt realize

[topaz trout]

would this cause more offshoring or more citizen hiring?

[acoustic spade]

read above

[tame stone]

ig hiring from canada australia etc goes up a lot

and then offshoring to india and all

[light tusk]

i agree that domestic folks are as talented as intl folks

even more

but talking about the grind, i think a way fewer amount of them can be like intl folks

[cedar kettle]

a lot of phd students are intls which openai hires a lot of

[light tusk]

they r just grinder

ngl

[lucid fog]

yoooooo so will companies hire more domestic students then? are intl students at a disadvantage?

fuckckck

[late orchid]

Dude is it in effect already?

News came out today?

And cant we negotiate to pay 100k cut from our salary?

[light tusk]

we should pivot to europe big bro

or go back to india

china

[topaz trout]

i dont think u can work it like that

[acoustic spade]

signed a few hours ago

[red geyser]

Bro wants to make 10k a year

[hard spoke]

rip my h1b bros

[late orchid]

Like official final? Passed by supreme law already? Wtf

[lucid fog]

rippppp fuck

[tame stone]

for ai researchers getting paid 900k i doubt they mind an extra 100k

[lucid fog]

what would companies do then?

[late orchid]

IS IT DONE???

[tame stone]

but ng hiring for intls is fucked

[late orchid]

IM COOKEDDDD

[red geyser]

Offshore

[lucid fog]

domestic students will go up and offshore im guessing?

shitt how long will it last

[hard spoke]

this is just gonna endup being worse for internships cause all the intl kids delay delay

[red geyser]

They usually only give internships for ros tho

[lucid fog]

from a company perspective though, aint no way companies will offshore for an internship.. probably more domestic students than intl but less hc or some shit idk

[acoustic spade]

nah it's not like totally done deal, may go back and forth in courts

[late orchid]

yeah it will take some months

[edgy sphinx]

will i get my ro rescinded 😭

[red geyser]

I mean they’ll lower intern hc

If they’re just getting ft offshores

Chalk everything

[lucid fog]

im talking about internships but yea ur right. i dont think hc will be lower since companies can still take domestic students without paying shit

but definitely less ft ro rate

due to offshore

[red geyser]

Ima have to take my talents to geico in Alaska

😭

[pseudo hemlock]

Any country recommendation?

Was looking into Czech, uk, canada

[hard spoke]

Canada 😂

[elder plinth]

bro no way that shi gets passed in court

[acoustic spade]

ngl it doesnt matter there are literal citizens that have been illegally detained

[lucid fog]

anything possible with Trump at this point

dude fucked over harvard, cornell, etc

even by 3-4 months can fuck over lives

[elder plinth]

yea that sucks but its few and far between theres millions of ppl in the US on an h1b

[lucid fog]

shit is so ass

[elder plinth]

some of them being high tax payers

[lucid fog]

no wonder why trump's son is back at Washington. dude is gonna get roasted at school and shit

[stable oar]

what abt f1 opt

u can do three years on that no

[late orchid]

ye

Wait wut

its not approved yet tho

if that gets approved its gg

[lofty mica]

No one would take us on that, cuz even on that u have to sponsor h1b for 3 years just to have a good chance of approval

like theres no point of taking someone on opt for companies if u know they cant continue later

[edgy sphinx]

actually they can move you to canada for 2 years then take u back under L1 visa

[hard spoke]

Apparently it takes into effect sept 21st

[late orchid]

Dude its a profitable move for trump because his government gets money off it

hes a smart guy dude likes to fking play

[acoustic spade]

1m for perma residency lol

[proper fog]

RIP H1B bros 🥀

[stable oar]
