I heard a rumor that the proposed 15% will now include temps and that the actual number might be below 15%. Previously, it was 15% of the full time employees + temps. Is this true?

Here in San Diego, my doctor friends live in La Jolla.

Same type of ghetto hood, only that the ghettos in Bay Area still cost an arm and a leg.

If you are thinking of moving to SV, bear in mind that the tech industry is mostly asian here with some areas 90% asian.. And rents are crazy!

So it makes sense for them to advocate more H1Bs quotas: this will suppress workers salary at some point. Their argument is "the other option is to outsource entire operation to low cost area"

For all of you interviewing with companies in SV tell them you want to stay in SD. The more of you do this it may be more likely some will create small teams here that can grow with time.

If you are good. That's for a recent hire. Wages rose last 2 years if you haven't been keeping up with the news.

How unfair! I think $200k/year for 10kloc of code per 6 months is fair! Software design, coding standards? Pfff? Who needs that....Damn those H1-Bs that are stealing our jobs.

It is the donations that corrupt. Plus nobody in congress works for a living.

It is just a job, qualcomm is just a company with good and bad qualities. There are so much more tragic things going on in the world. CECIL THE LION was MURDERED!

clearly the H1-B's are too blame. I can't find a job at a defense company, because no one would be stupid enough to pay me $200k to write perl scripts. But clearly, it's the H1-B's fault that I'm losing my script-kiddie job.
