How so? In September he added a requirement that any future H1B visas from people abroad will require an unprecedented $100,000 payment.

I saw that many welcomed this, since it will help stop the visa mills, and push towards importing higher talent, rather than local-offshoring. What's your opinion on these two?

  • It's increasing the offshore-offshoring in the form of GCCs ("Global Capability Centres").

    Interestingly, thanks to Covid practices, real estate demand hasn't gone up as the GCCs are just mandating 2-3 days WFH, especially in chip design.
