H1B

Description

The H-1B is a classification of non-immigrant visa in the United States that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations, as well as fashion models, or persons who are engaged in Department of Defense projects who meet certain conditions. In my experience hiring at both Coinbase and Farcaster, the H1-B process is horrible and favors big companies that abuse the system. A fee or other changes to the system that discourages abuse by big companies is a boon for startups trying to hire talented people. Unclear that the new $100K fee does this. But a lot of mood affiliation takes vs. people who have hired people who need visas.
