Last week X was in shambles when it came to the topic of companies hiring H1B workers over Americans. Is there a shortage of American talent or is this a way to shift the power of tech in America? Elon, Vivek and Trump all had interesting perspectives on this topic.

We'll uncover the multifaceted issues surrounding H1B visas, the cultural impact on engineering success, and the controversial hiring trends favoring foreign-born and first-generation engineers. Our panel also dives into cybersecurity topics, such as the recent breaches involving major companies like 23andMe, Change Healthcare, and Snowflake.

Tune in as we discuss firsthand experiences in the industry, the challenges of breaking into cybersecurity, the importance of soft skills, and the nuances of workplace culture at prestigious firms like EY and Deloitte. We’ll also tackle broader societal themes, from the undervaluation of American engineers to the benefits and drawbacks of business travel.

With rich insights and personal anecdotes, this episode promises a comprehensive look at the forces shaping the future of the tech industry. So sit back, relax, and get ready for an engaging conversation that spans from technical prowess to cultural influences and everything in between.

So sit back and enjoy the show
