alt Hacker NewsYou're counting only CS bachelors, in reality there's 400K graduates a year in software engineering fields.
There's also only 60,000 H1-Bs a year for private companies.
Lastly the majority of H1-Bs doesn't go to software engineering jobs, it's around 30-50%.
There's also basically no US company hiring juniors via H1-Bs, so yeah, I'm saying it doesn't make any meaningful impact.
30K H1-Bs versus 400K grads...

The way you handled those numbers makes me think you have leadership potential, perhaps even U.S presidency material

Actually, more like over 80,000. They have a separate pool for people with advanced degrees (MS or higher) in tech fields.
Agree with everything else.
