A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This reminds me of a guy who was rejected from a programming position because he didn't have 5 years experience in this programming language... Which really fucked with him because he literally invented said language, less than five years ago.
I've heard a lot of this is companies setting their hiring standards to an impossible high so that they can say "Look we tried, there's no one qualified in America, we have to outsource the labor to this other country that literally doesn't have minimum wage or labor laws."
FastAPI, not a language, but a very good python library, if somebody wants to read the story
This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country's department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I'm petty and I have time.

Good! If these agencies aren't going after real criminals they're going to harass you and me, that's just how it works sadly.
H1B skilled worker visas. You have to prove that you tried to hire locally and couldn't find anyone qualified. The whole point is that the qualifications are impossible, so you are either under qualified or lying. Since no qualified candidate exists, you can bring someone over from overseas and hold the risk of being deported if you fire them over their heads - and you suddenly get less thorough about checking qualifications for your immigrant candidates.
"India"
Well I didn't wanna single anybody out, but....
