Perfect number to make H1Bs a tool that is out of reach for startups but still meaningful for large entrenched corporations. Nailed it. Maybe they can even waive the fee if you give the US government 10% of your company.

University hiring is basically rekt. Throwing out baby with the bath water per usual with this admin...

How much does university hiring depend on H-1B? I would expect much of that comes through O-1 or EB-1/2/3, no?

No, pretty much all professors who used to be international students or postdocs are on H1B.

my understanding is post docs are virtually all on J1 visas, which is a meaningful part of uni hiring
