I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

What I think about all my coworkers. If they're good at the job, great. If they suck, I hope they leave.
The whole point of the H1-B visa was that there aren't enough trained Americans to fill the need of specialized jobs in the labor market (i.e: accounting, engineering, medicine, etc). By restricting or getting rid of it, we're gonna see a pretty sizable rise in the number of people who don't know what the fuck they're doing.
What's wrong with that? They obtained the visas legally. Why would we have any issue?
I don't think anything. How would I even know if you are working on your Visa? And why would it matter?
There are not enough people in public accounting as it is. So much so that you have to keep some people that in a world with a greater workforce you would replace. The chances of hiring in someone good at the manager level is about 20% and that is only when you can find them. You have to grow them and it takes too long. People on visas in public accounting are replacing zero American jobs. There are plenty of openings available.
EY4 think about America's history and how we got to this point. Then think about how ignorant that statement is.
I give no fucks. I also don't even know who is here on a visa. I have never thought about it.
Also worth mentioning that these people don't just disappear -- in most cases they'd be sent to their countries of origin and find work there, which means we are then competing with the technically skilled and American-trained people we got rid of. It's not a smart move.
Yup it's pricy. I wonder what he/she thinks of immigrants like me who came here as a child and displaced American born accountants. Should I not be employed either? It's not my fault American students are too lazy. I have no compassion for those who aren't willing to work. Complacency of the native born is no reason to hurt industries and companies here.
All I care about is whether people speak English and can document in English well. If the language barrier is too difficult to overcome, emails are unprofessional due to language barriers, or my client can't understand a person on the team, then it's an issue.
People with that mentality don't care so don't bother PWC3. I've tried on so many others to no avail and it just makes me more stressed out trying to explain it. But partner 1 is right, it's a way to fill the skills gap. Unfortunately many college graduates are unprepared, not willing to work, and just poor candidates period. I can't blame company owners for wanting a better crop of candidates.
^thats not true. All of the accounting firms have programs where we send American workers overseas to work in foreign countries. What are you talking about?
I think jobs should be staffed by Americans in America
SA do you even know the work visa process? Do you realize that accounting professionals, i.e. CPAs have to have US specific accounting knowledge unlike IT folks who can learn a programming language anywhere in the world. I don't have proof but would argue that the majority of "foreign" workers you and I work with have been to a US college and earned their right to a job. There are enough lazy ass Americans who wouldn't even wake up for this. But I guess we can stop drinking orange juice and only live in self-made huts now since majority of those laborers are non-US workers.
Nothing. They think nothing.
I'm curious as I am reading about organizations and lawsuits that try to boycott working visa, saying jobs should go to Americans first.
Kind of indifferent to it. While they might result in sometimes tougher competition when going through recruiting and the initial years, they aren't all likely to be sponsored after their visas are up. We had a lot of posts here about just that over the past few months and on accounting Reddit.
Interesting idea. Sometimes I feel like asking them if I can get a visa to work in their country. But as usual, america bends over and doesn't expect reciprocation.
PWC2 hit the nail on the head, political considerations notwithstanding
Wouldn't know the difference unless told... One of the best guys I've worked with was on a work visa, great Person and great worker.
