Why do you think that might be the case?

Had a conversation with industry friend yesterday.
A ton of IT workers are poised to leave the country because of immigration status.
According to his company, there’s going to be a LOT of ~very high paying ($300 an hour baseline) jobs available soon (with easy to get certs in Cloud etc.).

The t-shirt design this year celebrates both Claudia Goldin and San Francisco (the “Goldin Gate Bridge” hahaha). Available in 5 colors but I recommend pink
