    actually it wont, it means they will just solely hire international without having them move to the states for work.

      That’s a terrible take. If that was the case, why do they hire in the US AT ALL? Just cut out the middle man of dealing with visas at all and just hire everyone in Asia. But they don’t because there’s value to having people on the ground in the US.

        Sure there would be value, but now with an additional 100k hurddle,.expanding overseas office may be a better value

          But that doesn’t make sense. The gap between a US based HB1 and someone in China or India was already well north of 100k - so why were there jobs in the US at all to begin with?

            Decisions and jobs aren’t monolith.

            In some cases employers are going to hire US based no matter what. In other cases there would be a choice and this policy may tip the scale in some of those cases.

            In aggregate, it seems really likely to me that this will result in some outflow of jobs from the US to international
