They pay similar _at the levels where they are hired_. That's what the letter of law requires. They just hire them at lower levels to pay less. And where they _really_ want to save costs, they hire the typical Indian sweatshops which are full of H1Bs who are overworked and paid peanuts. That's why the overall number of people working at e.g. Microsoft or Google can be nearly double their FTE count.


Sorry, that's just not correct. Microsoft or Google does not intentionally try to hire people at lower levels based on their immigration status. They do outsource some IT work to companies like Infosys or TCS which are Indian sweatshops but not their FTEs.


Many grads graduate from top tier universities and get the same level as their American counterparts. Please have some respect for the law abiding students, who pay full tuition and taxes only to get shit on on this forum and by the President and his phonies.


Clearly a biased and uneducated take.
