Bloomberg just released an interactive dataviz piece on the H1B visa lottery and laid out how Indian outsourcing firms abuse it. Funny how I did exactly the same investigation and reached the same conclusions as a class project in 2017.
Still, feels nice to have your college assignment reaffirmed by 1.8 million rows of data obtained by an FOIA lawsuit.
