1. "According to Khandavalli, there essentially isn't enough available U.S. talent in his sector."

I find that statement interesting, considering just how much our society pushes STEM while ignoring the arts and the culture.

Practically everyone I know is involved with the tech in some capacity. I also know plenty who are doing something else because of the massive over-saturation of talent in those fields. Yet, this person can't find people with enough 'skills'?

If so many people are taking these classes, where the hell are they? Why are they doing other things if this 'talent' is so in demand?

I am curious about this, as this comes off sounding like a 'people vs profit' situation, and not a 'we can't find enough people who know what to do' situation. HIs reasons seem more like 'I don't wanna pay them!' as opposed to 'I can't find enough skilled people'.

But, as I said, it would be interesting to look into which one is more akin to the reality of the situation.
