null | TheCid | null | That's the primary outcome, at least in this industry.
The goal was originally to get "specialized" people. An ordinary recent college graduate with no special knowledge (such as Cobol or something similarly rare these days, or someone with a dual major in chemistry being hired to code research lab software, etc.) is not "specialized" and the fact that the H-1B program was used to bring in so many of those is pretty clearly an abrogation of its original purpose IMO.
I've got no problem letting folks on top of the game come over. That's good for them and good for the country. I have a real problem with entry-level positions being taken by immigrants when we have plenty of fresh grads looking for work. That's great for them individually but it's awful for the country because it's kneecapping people at the start of their career when they've got the most debt. | null | 0 | 1491260276 | False | 0 | dfshx0x | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsdrdm | null | 1493770585 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

St Paul housing tends to be very very old and affordable, or super new and expensive. East end of Lake Street is pretty sketchy, more affordable but sketchy. Uptown itself is either super old buildings at medium prices (often without parking or split faucets a bunch of old stuff), or new incredibly pricey stuff.
My point isn't that you can't find anything, but "doing quite well" I'd expect to not be super old housing. | null | 0 | 1491260416 | False | 0 | dfsi10l | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsf36y | null | 1493770638 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

The US is about 10x the size (population) of Canada.
Americans certainly cannot work in India or China or the EU without a whole lot of issues. Most countries don't even allow foreigners to own property. Yet both the US and Canada have allowed anyone with enough cash to both move here and also buy up all the real estate. Which means younger people never own homes.
Honestly, the whole Anglo world is pretty rigged against its own citizens with regard to immigration.

null | loup-vaillant | null | There are 3 levels:
* I don't like you, GTFO ("incompatibilité d'humeur"). 3 months notice, plus a nice severance after that. Employee may be required to stay at work.
* You screwed up, GTFO ("faute réelle et sérieuse"). 3 months notice, less severance.
* You screwed up *badly*, GTFO ("faute grave"). Possibly no notice, minimal severance.
* You double crossed me, GTFO, wait for my lawyer ("faute lourde"). No notice, no severance, not even the remaining paid leave. It generally takes some illegal deed to go that far, and employer often sues the employee on top of this.
Also, we have between 1 and 8 months of probation period in the beginning, where either party can stop the contract at a very little notice (one week per worked months so far, but no longer than 1 month).

editing to add some thoughts: This policy might have unintended consequences.
So they couldn't find US citizen developers in the $60k-$85k range so they import cheap labor who will. Now you get rid of the cheap labor and increase the pay to $100k+, what do you think will happen? Will the publicly traded companies, who are desperate to appease their shareholders, meet the requirements of US citizens like health coverage, retirement contributions, liabilities, and the mother lode of all, taxes? If I pay a developer $100k, he/she has to add value to the tune of $200k for me to break even.
There will be a mass exodus of all remaining IT jobs to cities in India (like Hyderabad and Bangalore) who have been heavily investing in infrastructure like fiber optics and education. These companies already have branches in these cities. They will just minimize their presence in the US and with the advent of cloud computing, working on-site is not a requirement anymore.
I think the public education system as it stands and the exponentially increasing cost of living in the US will strengthen India's dominance in the IT field. It's just numbers.
I think any IT job that can be worked off-site (most, thanks to cloud computing) and demands a $100k salary will be off-shored. That is 6.5million Indian Rupees. You can get 3-4 highly qualified engineers for that (avg salary is Rps 500k). Companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Capgemini etc take a 20-30% middleman cut of the $60k salary. Imagine what these Indian engineers are really working for.....At $15k in India, a developer is making above median income by 30%-40%. At $40k in the US (after 30% cut to middle men) they are making below median income by 20%.
I think if they make any changes to the H1-b, it should be associated with economic disincentives. First 30 applications should be cheap and then it gets prohibitively/progressively more expensive for the company. Minimum company revenue should be $20 million to prevent ghost companies from applying and to ensure capable Americans aren't overlooked. Not only would the US get the best talent, abuse of the H1-b will be kept to a minimum.

null | ThisIsMyCouchAccount | null | There are no facts in this discussion. A job title is just something a company gives you.

What **is** important is what you do. I work at a development shop. Mostly web-based. We have language-specific teams but if you know how to do something you'll get assigned to a relevant project.
Anyway, what he said about SEs:
> talks to people, collects requirements, creates the architecture and designs, etc
That's not universal. That could be business analyst, senior software engineer, or something like a sales/solutions engineer. That last being a technically knowledgeable person involved in the sales process to come up with high-level solutions.
I'm currently a senior software engineer and I do all those things plus write the code. It's part of being a Senior at my company. You lead projects. Some Seniors are in such high demand they never get to code but they are leading three projects.
> I'm assuming CS majors can become software engineers, correct?
Again, it's just a title. Where I work there are software engineers that have no degree, to a CS degree, to a completely unrelated degree.
> How do they compare to those who don't get a degree?
No way to really answer this. But as the other guy said - CS is generally theory and concepts. It will vary depending on where you went to school. Programming is typically secondary is importance and taught as a way to get you to understand the theory and concepts more than learn how to code. But you will be taught some level of coding.
Me? I have a degree in Computer Information Systems. What could typically be considered IT. Which is a business degree where I went to school. But, they also focused on programming. I was coding for most of my four years. However, I was never taught algorithms, path finding, sorting, hardware, etc. Personally, I think it was good trade-off. Because it was a business degree I took several business classes like finance, accounting, and marketing. That exposure has been very beneficial professionally.
> **But, random stranger...how does that help me find a job?**
**No Degree Path**
It's going to be hard. You're going to have to teach yourself everything. You're going to have to be making shit all the time. You will have to prove yourself more than the other guy with a degree.
Finding your first job will certainly be harder. If possible, find some way to get any type of job related to technology. Bonus points for near any code. This will pay your bills while you teach yourself how to code. Maybe even try to help out at this job doing some coding. Most likely this will be time donated by you via coding you do at home and aren't paid for.
Almost anything to get your Github profile filled out. If not Github - then get a small site somewhere and make it a portfolio of sorts. Maybe do some freelance after you get along a bit.
After your first legit programming job it gets way easier. But that first one might be tough.
**Degree Path**
Much much easier to get in the door. But you're also mixed in with any number of other devs just graduating. You'll still want to be coding in your spare time. Still get yourself a Github account. Any work you can highlight will put you a little bit higher than the next guy.
**After Job One**
Assuming you did programming work at said job you're going to find people really don't care about your education. They will just want to know that you can do the thing they need done. Still wouldn't hurt to have a Github or some body of work to showcase.
**Bonus Round**
There is no "right" way. People take an infinite number of paths to get where they want to go. The guy the busts ass for years in his free time then hops a few jobs until he can get the job he wants. The guy that got a CS degree from a top school and never had to work and spent his time coding and gets a job right out of school. The guy that does something in the middle and hops around a few careers until finding one that works.
Also, do not ever forget your soft skills. Some developers will argue they don't matter and those people are wrong. You can be the best coder in the world but most people don't want to work with an asshole. Learn to listen. Learn to ask the right questions. Learn how to keep yourself presentable for your given environment.
