    I think it’s more because pipeline work is inherently unstable so they get paid a lot but it’s for short contracts. Plus it means businesses are more used to transient workers.

    Like my buddy can clear $80k in 3 months working 100hr weeks. There’s no IT job in the world that would give you those kinds of hours.

    And yeah, American companies sometimes use the visa trap to get workers. But don’t pretend thats a uniquely American phenomenon haha
