How will the new H1B bill affect consulting? Will everyone making less than 100,000 on H1B be fired if the bill passes?

People here need to read the daily news... Stay afloat with the current affairs... It is not a made up figure.. $100,000 has been proposed in the new bill... Instead of discussing whether to buy Allen Edmonds or some other shit

Yes, I agree with EY1. I personally know people who work for such "consultancies". But I work for PwC as an associate, have never lied on my resume, and earn only $76000 annually. How am I an illegal H1?

The reporting on this issue is terrible. You guys will probably be more helpful: What is the masters' quota and why does it matter if we get rid of it?

Okay, I just read a couple articles about the bill. Yep, all Associates and some SAs on H1s will be screwed if this becomes law.

Surprised to see 100K as the average American salary for these positions. Seriously? Though it's just a bill at this point, it's somewhat ludicrous.

like

The average salary is bad .am@oretty sure Americans don't earn 100k for those positions as well .but as an h1 am a strong supporter of taking away those illegal h1s including ones they get with the masters degree

Basically what I'm asking EY1 is, how is deporting me going to help us stop these people that embellish their resumes and abuse the H1 program?

And no I don't think people earning less than 100 will be fired .most companies pay 85-90k on an average.the companies will come crashing down

No new rules yet kpmg1. Only once trump comes into office

What if you're already on h1b? Will they revoke your visa if you make >100k?

Reintroduced bill, it didn't have much support when it was first introduced.

Looks like the full bill is really short since it's an amendment
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/5801/text?format=txt

Do you think it would be 100k for lower cost cities ? Cause then everyone would need to be fired 😒

Is that 100k base? Or total compensation including benefits?

Do people@on visa really get paid lesser than Americans ? We all get comparable salaries at big four am sure

Don't understand why they are taking out Master's quota

The rule proposes to ammend "exemptions" for an h1b dependent employer (>15% on h1b). Current exemptions are at 60k or a masters.

Click on the link AC1, it says incl cash bonuses

Funnily enough the only strong supporters of this on my team are H1 or former H1 managers and above

Not really pwc2, this bill only applies to h1b dependent employers. That said, it does add a lot of overhead, and the idea seems to be to make it harder for h1bs and their employers

Aren't most firms who employ h1s h1b dependent employers ? @d1

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do.
