Outsourcing was always a problem, but even more so after Satya took over. Walking through the Commons, I always saw at least half H1B types, but more recently, they are more of a majority. I sent more emails to foreigners than I did to Americans.
Understand Microsoft is a corporation that is heavily leaning towards replacement with H1Bs, since American engineers are considered too expensive. So, expect to be treated like a replaceable cog and discarded as such. There is a lot of outsourcing still occurring, so if you can get an offer somewhere else, seriously consider leaving if you value your job security.
Quit whining about a "STEM shortage" in technology when you don't actually intend to hire American engineering students.
Hopefully, more people will wise up to the fact that you are propagating this myth to bring in ever more H1Bs to replace American engineers and further erode the local middle class.
