That is very low pay. That's why he will not put in anything etra.


Maybe he has 3 jobs all paying 110k.

not sure where you find 160K for senior software developer without clearance.

and just to be clear no one will name names for where those jobs are, but I can tell you Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Navy Federal will hire H1B senior software developers for 60 to 70K and we work them weekends also and we have more desperate to join


I completely agree with you. I am sorry ( from the bottom of my heart ), as an Indian, since I personally see the systemic as well as systematic abuse of these visas. India might not be the only country doing it but they do lead it from the front. H1BForAll does not understand the fact that even if 30K falsified H1s and another 40-50K falsified L1s enter the system, over the last 10 years, that is significant given that they bring their families along with them.
By the way, Stephen, one community of Indians that are heavily involved in this are the Telegu community. Trust me they are 90% of the Indian populace. It is the single direct purpose of their lives to come to the US. Do you know the reason? They get humongous amount of money as dowry(bribe) when they marry if they work in the US. That money is in dollar millions most of the time. So the single objective of the Telegu young man is to come to the US and that destroys their moral radar since with a tunnel vision they come here. They dont want to assimilate. They create falsified resumes, they get help from the entire community if needed. I personally know of cases where Telegus have denied accidents after the reaching home, left apartments without paying due, put in more people than they should, created false resumes for their wives, overoccupy apartments and under report. They have been caught watching multiple movies at the price of a single ticket, duped women here, duped businesses. Sorry for the rant. But it is entirely true



I have a good Telgu friend. Your post sounds much like he says. He tells it like it is....shameful, losers, dishonest, Indians destroying this nation. No..I'm not MAGA.


This is so true about dowry, especially for states in south of India such as Andhra, Tamil etc.

a lot of these sweat shops are also part of other corporate American companies such as Capital One where support contractors are hired and company is registered on names of people who are not even in US.

I was making 200k a year in 2000 as a senior systems engineer at a corporate arm doing R&D work for on a cleared TS-SCI with CI Poly for a defense contractor. I was also entertaining offers for 250k a year for a principal systems engineer role as well at another defense contractor, before deciding to switch industry for financial services. A senior developer with 15+ years of experience in an indemand language and framework should have no problem pulling at least 200k today IMHO.

$160K is less than it was paying 20 years ago, inflation adjusted.

$300k-$400k if you can get in at big tech

Free at that salary. He probably has another full-time job. 100 is barely anything


Trust me, this person is not going to put in a single extra minute whether the job pays 110 or 410. Definitely not working another job, not enough initiative or strong enough skills. The work here is just not that hard and there is a lot of autonomy. The benefits of working from home, complete flexibility to help with childcare, etc are worth the salary differential.

Not for Indian body shops. Especially ones that do not exist

I traveled across New Jersey today and investigated three of the Indian bodyshops that @a_know_nothing uncovered last week. The ones that have dozens of LLCs and other corporations registered to the same address and contract with Meta and other major corporations.

I was not able to get access to the bodyshop interiors as you could only enter with an appointment (how one gets an appointment with a corporate entity that does not list its phone number or any other contact information is anyone's guess). However, I discovered several suspicious things at all of them:

1) Many of the bodyshops were not listed in the buildings' public directories, either in the lobby or on the floor where they are supposedly headquartered. I don't know if this is illegal, but it's incredibly shady.

2) When I asked for directions, other people working in those buildings didn't know that the bodyshops were even there. When I asked one receptionist about a bodyshop registered to the suite where she was working, she gave me a confused look and asked if I was in the right place.

3) The bodyshop employees I did run into in suite lobbies were all Indians, save for a couple of receptionists.

4) The suites themselves were too small to house the number of businesses registered to them, assuming they have staffers and contractors on site.

Bodyshop Address 1: 33 South Wood Ave. Ste 600, Iselin, New Jersey

This bodyshop is located just outside the Metropark NJ Transit stop and has 30 firms registered to the same address. The lobby had a mixed crowd of whites, Asians, and other races, but the sixth floor (where Suite 600 was located) was entirely Indians save for the receptionist, a black woman in a hijab. I was unable to get many decent pics due to the receptionist telling me I needed an appointment, but this pic shows the directory outside the elevator and it notably omits most of the bodyshops registered to the address, such as Aarav Solutions Inc. and BrainHR IT Solutions Incorporation.

itself appears to be a major hub of Indian bodyshops; TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) is headquarted a few blocks away from 33 South Wood Ave.


Why do we allow this to go on in this country? We have American citizens who have degrees and more than capable. Just why? Why?

My DH is a federal contractor with this job, although his official title is principle developer - he makes in the low 200s.
