My competence is not a matter of faith- my paycheck is real. I've never met a high performing engineer who was afraid of foreign competition- because they likewise know that their skills will protect them. Cope :)

If you’re truly more talented than every single “native” SDE currently working in the US as you claimed, I should hope your pay is astronomical. I suspect though it’s about average though for the industry. As are you. Cope with that :)

The only person asserting that there’s a distinction between the capabilities of tech employees who are here on a visa and people who were born here is you. Having a solid enough understanding of macroeconomics to realize the increased supply of tech talent created by the H1B visa program depresses industry wages hardly makes me a nativist yokel. I’ll keep my thoughts on what your worldview says about you to myself :)
