Click on Wipro, Infosys, Tata, Cognizant, HCL, Capgemini, or Accenture. You’ll notice that in the Citizenship section, it’s over 99% from the same country, and a large proportion of their employees are non-citizens. This is an important point, because if it were more diverse, it’d mean they hire using meritocracy, but they don’t.
These consultants then work for US companies like Bank of America, Ford, even Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft as contractors. They’re second class employees who have no job security, very little benefits, and can be laid off at any time without a WARN notice.
If the US companies didn’t contract out to WITCH consultancies, they’d have to fill that demand with real full-time employees. Every year, that’s around 45k underpaid new H1Bs taking the spots of American citizens. 45k is 40% of the annual number of US computer science graduates.
How are they underpaid? Microsoft pays these contractors 100k/year instead of hiring a full-time employee for 200k/year.
Eliminate consultancies, and every US computer science graduate would have a job upon graduation.
