One of these is not like the other. Facebook pays extremely well even for H1Bs, not many come close to it in the industry.

These people are not paid by Facebook, but by Tata - they are contractors.

This article is about Facebook hiring H1Bs as full time employees. You can't sponsor green card for your contractors. Also Facebook doesn't hire a lot of contractors compared to other big tech companies.

Yes, but the comment you are responding to is about Tata middle-manning H1B holders who then get paid less.
