Tech With Tim: What the $100k H1B Visa Means for Software Engineers

TL;DR

The U.S. just slapped a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, and it’s a game-changer for software engineers on both sides of the border. In the video, Tim unpacks who gets hit hardest (spoiler: smaller companies and new grads), how U.S. citizens might see hiring slowdowns or hiring shifts, and why non-U.S. developers should rethink relocation timelines or go remote-first.

Beyond the sticker shock, Tim gives practical tips on surviving the new rules—like targeting green-card pathways, exploring other countries, or leveling up your network—and shares real-world advice on staying competitive when the bar (and the price tag) just got a whole lot higher.
