No offense but born-in-the-US citizens are... not great at the most demanding knowledge work. The ones that are have all been hired. Our education system is trash and normalizes getting Bs/Cs.

I see so many people complaining about H1Bs at tech jobs. At least the H1Bs pass the interviews!

Disclaimer: born and raised in the US myself.

Not quite right. The US doesn't normalize getting Bs and Cs, it just gives As to everyone.

I don’t think that’s an entirely accurate classification (as a former H1B and a naturalized citizen).

The leetcode nature of the whole process doesn’t lend itself to be motivating for people who aren’t really hungry for a job. As a US citizen you can say fuck it, I don’t need to deal with this shit. As an H1B you’re forced to deal with it otherwise you need to leave the country.

I’ve hired plenty of sharp and talented folks who were born here.

		I am not saying that sharp and talented folks aren't born in the US. I am saying that our culture generally has resulted in fewer talented folks than the H1B population because we have a cultural focus on education. For example, it is culturally acceptable in the US to get poor grades throughout K-12.

		Can you expand on how people failing interviews is filling the role you're hiring for?
