I am unpersuaded as I have never heard of a company that collapsed and was replaced by foreign competition because they couldn't get enough H1Bs. But even if this is correct, the best that should get you is N visas for the next 2 years and then no more because you will have built the local talent pipeline you need by then.

I replied to OP saying "only hire domestic" for every role.

Even National Labs don't do that.

Nothing in tech takes that long to learn if you have someone with a decent background in the subject...

False - many critical edge cases only come up once every couple of years.

In my area (not cybersecurity) I’m still seeing very serious and brand-new-to-me problems come up even after many years.

So even with your experience these are still occuring periodically. lol

The solution for this is good testing and QA not fear mongering Americans into hiring immigrants.

It’ll be very good for you to stay in learning mode after your degree.

On the other hand, if your attitude is that you now know your stuff and you’re done learning, that isn’t going to produce the best outcomes for you.

Business processes can’t take the place of experienced judgement.
