[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse was breadwinner and laid off two months ago. Spends time every morning job hunting, applying. Two first round interviews and nothing further. He has contacted every networking contact he can think of.

He has severance for now but will end soon. Have emergency savings to last awhile, but cannot afford our mortgage for more than a year on single income and will really burn savings in the process. We have two kids. I am just being positive and encouraging with my spouse, but privately, I worry. I know he does too.

Suggestions, words of wisdom? [/quote]

H-1B Fact Check:

India takes ~74% of all H-1B visas … marketed for decades as “the best and brightest.”

Yet in 20 years of the TopCoder Open Algorithm Finals …. the Olympics of coding ….India has zero Top 3 finishes.

So where exactly are all these “best and brightest” hiding?

You are confusing coders/developers with software engineers. Companies are not hiring Indian coders because they are the 'best and the brightest'. They are bring them because the cost makes sense to them. Indians didn't invent capitalism. Your fellow greedy Americans are tripping over one another to minimize cost and maximize profits. The people you should complain to are on Wall Street. [/quote]
