Nah. They are good at appearing smart in passing.
You haven't lived until you've tried to work through a real crisis with some H1B workers. If you can't handle it all yourself you are properly fricked.

By the time the back end costs are obvious, the current bean counter is long gone.

I see goldennugget has moved on from his JooAnon days and is now leading the HinduAnon movement.
Keep up the good fight brother.

They are OK at doing grunt work like you said, menial repetitive tasks but anything that requires outside of the box thinking, communication skills, people skills or adaptability when things go off script, they become utterly useless.
Everyone that I have worked with fell short on any real world problem solving.
I have seen what happens when you contract out cad work to Indian draftsmen. Ends up being a time wasting exercise and communication is horrible. I am still fixing models and bom structures on work done 3 years ago. The designer who was working on my end got tired of fixing their crappy work and started to buy off on their garbage.
I am amazed that I worked in a town with plenty of good designers and draftsmen who would have worked on contract and done the work to standard and my boss insisted that we could only use the services of those nimrod at Tata.

needs to be fixed, we really should be more selective and exclusive in immigration.
Whenever anyone in this debate wants to deny the fact that there is an actual monetary value associated with a green card or US citizenship I state a couple of undeniable facts:
The US and most western countries offer permanent residence or a direct path to citizenship for a price. Typically you are going to cough up anywhere from .5 million to 1 million or more dollars on a residency or citizenship by investment program.
Additionally if anyone wants a relatively quick and cheap second citizenship they are going to end up coming out of pocket for about 100 K or more for a carribean country passport, like Dominica or St Kitts
Paying US citizens money for a sham marriage is quite lucrative since it is possible to get a green card relatively quickly and citizenship within 3 years of holding a green card.
Why these facts are conveniently ignored is beyond me. Many act like US residency or citizenship is wholly cost free and therefore should be distributed equally and to all comers.

If they’re paying them such low wages, how are they buying all these 700K++ homes?
they have multiple generations living in one house. The people across the street from me are Chinese and have four generations of one family living in the biggest house in our neighborhood.
a lot of legal immigrants from Central and Far East Asia have community programs where they can borrow money from a local collective and pay cash for a house. Then they pay back the collective with interest. Once their house is paid off they join the collective as an investor. The interest is kept in their community instead of going to a bank.
This is very common in the areas around West and SW Houston.

It's getting extremely big in the accounting industry to have "centers of excellence" or contractors of accountants in India/Lithuania/others.

Hopefully the tide is turning tho.
Going Concern
quote:
The PCAOB released a Spotlight the other day [PDF] and it seems large firms are just now recognizing that increased offshoring might have a negative effect on the foundational skills early-career auditors. By “negative effect” we mean a loud sucking sound as these tasks get pumped to distant corners of the world where offshore staff work for pennies on the dollar. Notable quote from one respondent to the PCAOB investigation that contributed to this report: “Our staff now will never see cash testing, as it is done offshore. We are going to see the impact of that when they are managers.”
The younger staff aren't learning how to do the basic shite because of offshoring. Offhshoring for lower cost will have long-term negative ramifications.
More retard Boomer logic so they can line their pockets a bit more while they pull up the ladder behind them.

I understand why H1Bs became a thing, the expected cost savings were very seductive, but I don't think anyones actually realized those savings, because you always have to go back and fix their work, and in hindsight, it should have been obvious to us that this was a bad idea. There aren't enough people in these countries, countries like India, with the qualities to do this work at the level we expect. If there were, India wouldn't look like India. It would look like the US or Singapore. You wouldn't be dealing with this kind of corruption and fraud.

There are supposedly newer neighborhoods up in the Frisco in McKinney area that are entirely Indian.
I think Richwoods neighborhood in Frisco is one of these. The census showed this.
Are some part of the development team, and then give first access to friends and family to buy up properties before building has finished?
Richwoods is gated and streets are privately owned and maintained by the HOA or whatever they call it, and it seems like this would help a developer mainly sell to Indians.
The newer neighborhoods like this do not become this way organically with them moving in over a long time as population increases. It’s all at once and from the start.
The only real problem I have with them is they (or really the moms) will play every angle of the race card to their benefit from identity dem politics to same ones saying quotas for U of Texas are racist against them (but quotas for employment and business opportunities for them are apparently not), but in reality they are not very inclusive and are biased against most others. They just push the lie that it’s our racism that has pushed them to all live together in private communities and hire each other not theirs.
This is the parents especially the ones who immigrated here and not the kids who go thru the school system and make friends with others. We have been around some really good kids who are currently college age or close to it whose parents immigrated or maybe grandparents from India. I hope they continue this and don’t isolate themselves after college and marriage.

Not the immigrants. Their kids born here are smarter because their parents push them from day 1 and maybe in the womb with their education.
Those moms push tutoring on straight A students and actually start tutoring early to get their kids ahead from the start not to catch up, and the same moms will push every angle possible to see their kids get in best colleges and get scholarships. Again they do push their kids to learn it all and to excel at school, but they also have no shame taking every advantage of the system needed or usually not needed including using race card to push their kids up even higher. If there is a way to play their kid’s GPA rankings by taking or not taking certain classes they know it. If a club or extra curricular activity is better than others for college acceptance they know it and will have kids in it even if they have to hound someone non-stop.

H1B’s can be abused, but I know a few cases where they are necessary.
There are some small rural hospitals that have trouble staffing nurses, doctors, and tech’s because no Americans want to live in the area and they don’t pay as much.
They have to hire foreign works in many cases, a lot of them Filipinos.

Not their problem. They’re about to sell out to private equity and take their ball and go home, and leave a mess for everyone else to clean up

Yep. Nearly all of the resales in my old expensive arse hood in Cross Creek Ranch was bought by Indians since 2019, evacuating the driving hell that is Sugarland. Three or occasionally four generations per house. You would have thought Diwali this year was Halloween all over again, the number of people walking house to house in festive garb. The people that bought my house were Indians from New Jersey, and I think they have four or five cars in the driveway at all times. Out of six houses on my part of the block, three of them were Indian after mine was bought.

Oh, I know. The greediest and most selfish generation in history only gives a frick about themselves.
Articles are coming out and the large accounting firms are staring around with shocked Pikachu faces that the seniors and managers that they have now don't know shite.
Well, it's your own fault retards....you shipped all the work to India / Philippines to get a bigger paycheck and now your domestic staff doesn't know shite.
