How To Hire Me (or any other programmer)

Are you talking about programmers? Are you talking about the United States? If so, the evidence is not on your on side. It's actually so not on your side that I'm a bit flummoxed.

Software engineers, with advanced degrees and experience, in the United States. The majority of them are not citizens.

At the companies I've worked at, the evidence has been very much on my side.

Maybe I've just taken for granted how desirable the companies I've worked for really are.

Are you saying there's not that many and especially since they are not US citizens? ... That means it's a seller's market.

I'm saying that at the companies I've worked at, I've had a deluge of applications from extremely qualified candidates, the only hesitation anyone might have in hiring them is that a majority are not citizens.

It's a buyer's market where I've worked for my last three jobs.
