US loves when capitalism works for US and it’s bad otherwise. Outsourcing will still happen even if you ban H1b. Maybe try asking lawmakers to sign in some proper workers protections!! if you allow companies to treat employees as dirt don’t be surprised when they do. No one should be able to kick you to the curb if you’ve spent your whole life at a place.

There are 600k H1B holders in total in the USA so they're not taking as many jobs as you think they are. $40 per hour is the minimum requirement by law for H1B (https://day1cpt.org/news/understanding-h-1b-minimum-salary-r...) and also the average is $80 for H1B holders (https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2023/06/05/immig...)

In FY 2021, 66% of approved H-1B beneficiaries earned a master’s degree or higher compared to the 13% of americans with masters degree

Now coming to indians in the USA doing low paid labour - average indian household in USA earns 152,341 vs 74580 of US average.

get your facts right and say thank you to indians for making america great!

That’s a lie the best hire straight out of university too. Having worked for meta, Goldman Sachs and Bloomberg I can assure you it’s only a matter of cracking their interviews i.e. leetcode.

Having worked at banking and then faang. The problem is how oblivious I found some banking people! Especially people who joined straight out of university. They think they’re doing amazing work while never looking outside. The stuff in banking was antiquated and the rules were Downright hinderances to doing dev work. So unless you keep up with how things work outside it’s hard to assimilate with normal sane companies.

don't worry that is very usual. you just have low self-esteem not a lack of skill. I have a masters from a top school in US and I've worked for faang and trading firms, leetcode still gives me the shivers. one thing that is universal is switching jobs is the key to making more money. have a clear goal I deliver this and I need that money and tell this straight to management if they can't make it happen you leave! also bigger companies can offer you opportunities to work on harder problems if you land on the correct team. your battle scars from that much oncall are actually more valuable than your coding skills. you'll just know where to look if you enjoy that bit try SRE/production engineering roles having switched from SWE to SRE it gave me a new set of problems to keep me excited, but beware SRE roles can range from devops to tech support so look very carefully at what the job entails.
