I am in process of reviewing/editing/archiving old posts on my tech blog and ran across this old post. Bloomberg incorrectly claimed that 40% of all U.S. software engineers are foreign born: Software: “40% of software engineers born outside the United States” – Coldstreams
It appears that Bloomberg misquoted a 2018 report that 40% of software engineers IN SEATTLE are foreign-born, and then applied that to the entire country.
That said, in many fields it is important to have international experience because you will be working with, for or managing an international workforce, domestically or in offices abroad.
