I'd agree, I looked for two years in the other H-1B capital eastern MA,
and no one was interested in me. I saw who they were hiring, and
they were young, male and going cheap. Emplyment right now is a

best example, a local comms firm wanted techs (not engineers) that
had a minimum of BS in Math and 2 years DSP experience!
