What’s the deal? The US government just announced a hefty $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, throwing a serious curveball at the tech hiring game. This change is aimed at reining in the number of foreign workers and pushing companies to prioritize domestic talent.
Why it matters: For software engineers already in the US, it could mean more competition and possibly better bargaining power for locals. If you’re an aspiring non-US citizen, brace yourself for higher costs, tougher sponsorship battles and maybe even rethinking whether you’d rather stay put and build your career elsewhere.
