TL;DR
The US just slapped a surprise $100K fee onto new H-1B visas, and in this video breakdown the host cuts through the noise to explain exactly what triggered the hike, who ends up paying, and how it’ll shake up tech hiring. Spoiler: employers officially write the check, but it risks trickling down to offer sizes, headcounts, and the pace at which companies recruit international talent.
You’ll also get a quick side-by-side on what this means for US-based developers (think shifting budgets and talent pipelines) versus non-US engineers (higher barriers, tougher relocation decisions), plus some candid thoughts on whether it’s time to explore alternate markets or double down on visa strategies.
