Agreed. And they also belong in the former category -- they are taking a risk and moving from away from their comfort zone.

My point was H1B candidates of the former type have self-selected themselves into a pool of skilled risk takers and could perhaps be an asset for a start-up. But your mileage will vary.

As for the latter category, you are not really hiring an employee ; you are merely hiring a vendor . Buyer beware !
