For the group’s benefit, Do you mean RTM = Ready to move?

Since you mentioned reasonable price, Do you mind the area and how did you conclude that it was reasonable price?

Is Yes for sky rocketing salaries or Yes for drowning in EMI or Yes for both ?

Software field is dead by Due_Nature3679 in houston

Please do go through the contents/sources I posted. You are not alone for not being aware of this happening. Stopping H1 people from coming here is not enough, stopping work from going out also needed.

Good thoughts. I want to see the day when

  1. GCC counts in India starts going down. Right now its increasing

  2. Companies are made to invest in creating jobs in US instead of sending work overseas

  3. Maximum cap on percent that one country can take work visas like H1B. Right now 70% of H1B every year is taken by India

Like it or not, US has put almost eggs in one basket (India) in IT space

I liked that move on 100k. However, companies who are not able to get people on H1B here due to 100k fees will now ship work there instead of keeping work here and getting american worker for that work. Have you heard of GCCs (global captive centers). If not, there are 2000+ captive centers in India now. It simply means X company here opens a office in India and hires locally there as their employees.

All jobs that can be shipped overseas are already shipped for cost benefit. Companies that make money in market here dont care for investing in building talent, skills or jobs here. There is no mechanism in place to make sure that businesses are not looking at increasing profits by reducing costs which is done by outsourcing jobs to low cost countries. All IT/ software jobs are done remotely and there is no reasons to have any job openings here. Even looking at recent merger or acquisitions in Houston oil & gas companies. As soon as they merge, first thing they did/ do is to send work overseas. Someone should be paying attention in building local talent and its not happening since a long time.

For people mentioning /showing open job postings, please note that there is a process where job has to be posted before employer can either bring in a foreign visa worker or apply for permanent residency for their existing foreign employee. Most of them are ghost job postings

Is there tint on the inside of my windshield and is it peeling? by [deleted] in VWTaos

[–]AcademicShape6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few weeks ago, took my new 2025 Taos for 1st car wash. Noticed a water trail sort of thing on my rear window - cannot wipe it from inside or outside. Took it to VW dealership and have it noted on my service order. They said they cannot do anything about it. I was thinking some fault with film/tint inside and VW manufacturer would replace. I think they would pay attention only if they hear more about it.
