I don’t think so, H1B visa holders are residents, that’s how we file the taxes. As long as we are able to produce Drivers license or proof of US address, H1B visa holders should be exempted. New fee is aimed at people who don’t contribute to US taxes.

Sorry my bad. It’s residents.

Step 0 , destroy national parks by cutting the budget and firing people

Step 1, attack international tourism by being a dick

Step 2, continue kicking it while it’s down

Step 3, when it becomes so hard to manage , sell it to your billionaire cronies

It’s not for H1Bs yet. But it will be very soon

And come to think of it, there are people in this bowl who voted for this administration 🫤

You can use your regular driving license and pay same fees as citizens will pay. These fees are for non residents and I am absolutely in support of these fees. We pay taxes which funds the billions of dollars that are required to maintain these beautiful parks. Every country have steep tourism fees.

Just wait till you have to pay fees as an H1B holder stuck on a born in India endless wait while GCs and USCs around you aren't as much as you hope for quality of life equivalence with them. If not the national parks, there'll be something else. As it is, you are paying a ton of fees like driving license renewal every 3 years, forced air travel and possible logistics costs to Hyderabad / Chennai for stamping, etc.

While I do agree that these fees are not unjustified, no first world countries are distinguishing entry tickets based on your passport. Those countries who do that are usually those who aree poorer and rely a lot on foreign tourism to run their economy.

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?
