H-1B employers face stricter rules
H-1B employers face stricter rules
More federal scrutiny, investigations and threats of lawsuits
something it has never done before: It's encouraging people to file H-1B abuse complaints.
This week the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Labor each posted information about how to file a complaint against suspected H-1B abuse. It's a clear signal that government scrutiny of H-1B use will intensify and that the U.S. may challenge employers.

Does anyone have experience as a Solution Architect? How is the work/life balance? I assumed Solution Architecture and Sales Engineering were one in the same. A few posts in this thread mentioned that Sales Engineer's make commission. According to Glassdoor; Solution Architects make salary. They are both sales oriented roles so SA's should make commission too.
For those that are interested in SA; Amazon has an Associate Solution Architect position. It does not require 10 years exp. like the avg. Architect position. They expect you to know a lot though.

I don't think of Solution Architect as a sales position. Most solution architects I know of are involved on the project further than the sale. But then, I'm not exactly sure what the role of a sales engineer is. Is that like pre-sales?
Back to Solution Architect, Depending on the company, they may make salary with commission as bonus though.
Anyone do any android development and have tips they've learned along the way? I'm about to be balls deep in a project within the next couple of weeks and I'd like to avoid some rookie mistakes.
Going to a CISSP bootcamp next month and taking the exam as well. Pray for me brehs/brehettes 
@730BlackMage I'm sure you are right. It varies between companies how technical the position actually is. In reference to Amazon; it seems like they focus more on sales, and let the support engineers build the solution. I think the SA 'designs' the Solution (on premise network with AWS), and gives the client a cost benefit analysis. Again, I'm not sure, that's why I asked.
I believe it is Pre-sales when people refer to Sales Engineering. @Ice_MF_Mike can you share some insight on Sales Engineering? What the position entails and how it is similar or different from Solution Architecture.

Sales and or Solution engineering is sales related. Solition architects are pretty much the highest level developers, admins, business analyst design solutions that others will actually code or build. The step above solution architect is enterprise architect where you design company architecture
So that's when TOGAF and the other Architect Frameworks come into play. Look at all these different types of roles: Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, Cloud Architect, and Security Architect. Nothing but opportunity out here. No time for excuses.

If you are looking at Architect positions you know how much exp. is required. That should not stop you from having a long-term goal as well as a short-term goal.
Eh its an oxymoron using the word associate and architect in the same sentance lol. An associate architect is oretty much a mid level system engineer,developer, or BA. Either way lotta companies mis title job positions.
In some companies a senior engineer is really a middle level and the real senior level engineers are principal engineers.
