I love how people in the comments are just diregarding that simple fact. If you are "just" doing run-of-the-mill software engineering for a non-FAANG then sure look before you leap.
As an employee of OpenAI, that went before congress for AI safety, jumping to Microsoft? I wouldn't be surprised if their internal immigration division already has documents stamped by high-level officials to keep those people in the country as a matter of national security. These people are not leaving the US unless they want to.
Kicking these people out now would be like kicking out Jewish physicists (like Einstein) fleeing Germany in 1942. The race for AGI is just as critical as now as the race for the nuclear bomb was then.
And probably more dangerous...
