A lot of people defending offshoring like their life depended on it

Just wanted to let you all know I’m bringing the offshoring discussing to an end

Thank you for your participation

I’d really appreciate any advice. I recently moved to the U.S. and have over 20 years of general ledger accounting experience in another country. and I earned a QuickBooks Level 1 certification .
after months of applying to entry-level bookkeeping jobs, I haven’t even received a single interview.

I’m wondering: am I being seen as overqualified for junior roles? Or is it simply the lack of U.S. experience?

Has anyone faced something similar? How did you get your first opportunity?

We’ve all been fed a lie that there’s an acccounting shortage. Why? So that they can justify offshoring our jobs. Yet left and right we see lay offs. I’d say the H1B program has adversely affected US JOBS

I for one am calling this out. And all you need to do is spread the word. No action yet, we just need everyone to be aware of our rights.

We’re being laid off while they offshore jobs and pocket huge profits

This is out of control at this point. It’s a blatant attack on our jobs.
