Are you handing out visas personally?

It is not that easy. Many job-listings are US-Remote only.

Umm.... what about the visa? :)

There's a reason you get nice salaries, it's because your labour market is extremely extremely protectionist

No it's not. I wish it were. At my prior job the leadership, all the way to the top, made it uncomfortable for non-Indians to work there. They'd bring people over from India, hold the H1B over their heads, and work the crap out of them. They weren't happy from what I could tell, and most non-Indians left by the time I also did.

And from what I gather that's not an isolated incident.
