Visa holders in Big Tech are increasingly prioritising job security due to repeated layoffs, leading many to move to more stable tech sectors, start businesses, or relocate abroad. This shift threatens the talent pool of major US tech firms heavily reliant on foreign workers with H-1B and other visas.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a brain drain as visa workers flee unstable Big Tech roles for startups, alternative careers, or emigrating. Lock in your foreign talent fast or risk key team members leaving.
