Reddit post pulled despite a a very healthy debate over a growing issue:

With all the debate over H1Bs, Offshoring is orders of magnitude more damaging.

Of course they want to bring in Indians. Why would they want to pay a US citizen $100,000 a year or whatever the commensurate salary is for your job:

All of us concerned with this 10 years ago were called 'racists'. Welcome to I told you so.

I solved the issue personally by changing careers into something that's not being outsourced (and won't any time soon), since nothing was being done about it.

The worlds richest man just called everyone that came out against H1B a racist. He then proceeded to remove blue checks of vocal accounts who disagreed with him and shadow banned accounts by labeling them spam.

This is exactly what I did, proactively. I figured, better I just bite the bullet on my own terms. Saved up money for a year, and made the jump.

Would you be willing to share what career/field you moved into that won't be outsourced any time soon?

Personally, after spending the last decade in FAANG, I've grown disillusioned with the tech world but still have kids I need to take care of for the next 10-15 years.

I still see it on page 2 of "new". It's tough to get h1b article upvotes on hn, ime.
