As usual, there are countless immigration topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll do the same in my answers!

How has the Section 174 elimination of 5-year amortization for domestic SWE salaries impacted decisionmaking on whether to hire overseas?

Since overseas workers are still subject to 15-year amortizations I'm wondering if people are getting pulled in from Canada.

Those are excellent questions but really more directed to those hiring at tech companies. From my limited perspective, I haven't an impact on hiring.
