Very true. I was name requested got an interview with a Virginia State agency. I went to the interview for a programming job that I am very good in the niche computer language. I was asked bogus questions on the language that were not even remotely connected. This was supposedly an in depth technical interview. I was not hired. This was no surprise to me as there were only Indian (India) IT people working for a US state, paid by US Virginian taxpayers. They only wanted a high level American to interview and turn down so they could get another H1B Visa worker on board. I have worked many successful contracts using Oracle Application Express for both fortune 100 and well known global pharmaceutical and aircraft manufacturing companies. I have over 50 years of IT development experience. This is a disgusting reality for US IT developers to compete with.

I have over 50 years of IT development experience and still work in cutting edge technology. This is the disgusting reality that US IT developers have to compete with.
