I 100% agree with your statement. But for now, all that was done was suspend H1Bs without a viable measure that would create a path to citizenship (or just settlement) via a high-skilled degree. So it seems like a step backwards and very disheartening.
As an intended MBA applicant for the class of 2021, the recent uncertainty around H1B visas makes me very uneasy and disappointed. I was forced to leave the U.S. back in 2016 despite having an investment banking job and paying meaningful taxes, which was incredibly frustrating. I was hoping for another shot at living and working in the US after completing an MBA, and now it looks like there either won't be a chance or it will be at best a shot in the dark. I am now seriously considering avoiding U.S. schools altogether and applying for top business schools in Europe such as LBS and INSEAD.
Oh, so many places! I generally do a lot of reading.
I love longform.org whenever I have more than 30min to spare and am looking for deeper reading.
Farnam Street (fs.blog) has some really great content on mental models and tools.
I'm slowly reading through 80000hours.org, which covers how to re-think your career to solve the world's "biggest problems"
waitbutwhy.com has some fun long posts on random topics, and is currently doing a lengthy series called "The Story of Us" about the development of ideas, primarily in the U.S.
And if I feel like going on a wikipedia loophole, I go to explodingtopics.com/ (which I first saw in a ShowHN!) and google the top results for the past month.
Thank you for the response! This seems to be a sector that could highly benefit from AI development, especially given the number of required medical scans is steadily increasing and the number of qualified radiologists is declining in most countries. Given you are in the sector, could you share the names of a few companies / startups that you think are making the most progress?
