I'm managing a software engineering team for a medium size startup (400 engineers) and one common question is about the source income restriction of H1B employees.

This is the War Room!” and having critics in the mainstream media that hate your guts and will—uncompensated!—drop your name on a frequent basis and imply you are much much much more important and influential than you actually are.


It actually sucks to be blocked from starting your own business with your own skill learned or sharpened during prior employment...


I agree, but I suspect that if there was significant cost attached companies would only use non-competes in very rare cases.
