I can agree with some of the points in the article, mainly that there is real age discrimination in the IT biz. But it all gets down to money, as always. Employers want H1Bs so they can pay less, and get more hours out of employees. But this does not necessarily mean more output or higher quality work. Quite the contrary, usually the more people thrown at something, the worse it gets. But PHBs think that if you have a lotta people working on something, more must be getting done.
Come on man, you asked for it---10+ years experience w/ Cisco, Nortel, Solaris,Linux,HP-UX *BSD, degrees, certs, live in the NYC area, looking for a new job, have worked in Telecom, Military, Internet & aviation. Willing to travel & work OT---
