Re: Friday joke: IBM pays $35/hr for IOS code
Graeme: In addition to what you said, the US congress has failed repeatedly to sneek through increases to the VISA program so Mr. Chertoff did it on his own through Homeland Security by allowing college graduates to now stay in the US and work after graduation. The program is called OTP Optional Training Porgram, which effectively removes all of those would be H1B visa applicants from the existing quota, thereby effectively INCREASING IT.

Re: Friday joke: IBM pays $35/hr for IOS code
It's not likely to be an "internal" applicant they have in mind.. Before you can import a foreign person on a H1B visa you must advertise for local applicants. Every time you see a ridiculously low pay offer for technical work, just keep that requirement in mind. When no one suitable applies for the job they're free to get a visa to import someone. Anyone who didn't watch that YouTube video of consultants coaching US employers on how to work the system to get a (H1B) visa to import a half-price (or less) person from overseas to take your jobs from you should go and watch it now! Here's the link, Watch it and weep, or better still get mad and figure out how to embarrass your congressman! The vanishing American computer programmer Move to increase number of foreign worker visas fails in Senate, but that has ... And the amazing video: http://www.youtube.com/programmersguild Once again, I suspect that ad was never intended to draw a serious qualified applicant.

It sounds a lot like there is a rule requiring a posting for any job before it can be filled internally. Nobody meeting those requirements is likely to take the job at that rate so they will be free to give it to the internal candidate. And he or she will probably get a substantial raise after 1 week's "probation". Either that, or that posting came from some other universe.
