#3For H1B don't they have to show that they are paying at least market rate? And isn't it a factor in awarding the visa?

#5This is the only part of the article that matters, and even it is a stretch:
> Just a month after Sundar Pichai announced Google’s plan to cut 12,000 jobs around the world in January, the company filed applications for H1B visas to hire software engineers, analytical consultants, user experience researchers and other roles from outside the United States, with several requests aimed for new Google employees to join in August, the report states. Google parent Alphabet owned Waymo too has reportedly filed similar H1B applications to hire engineers.
The article fails to mention and actual H1B requests by the others, just lumps them in with the layoffs.

#6Most of these cuts haven’t targeted tech talent, so this isn’t really contradictory in any way.

Best move right now is to go into freelance/consulting and wait for big tech to recover. Still plenty of money to be made that way.

#8If only there were labor protection laws that prevent companies from firing and hiring at the same time(for same/similar roles) in the US.
This is madness.

Market rate is +/- 50%.
