It IS like slavery. At a contract I did with Align Technolog ythere were lots of Indians there replacing the IT and software guys. I worked with four young Indians who all shared a one bedroom apartment and took the bus to work daily. They were paid slave wages by American standards. During rainy season I took pity on them and bought them all umbrellas, since they had no quick way to go shopping for them.
On career, I think the recession is barreling into a semi-depression and work will get even tougher to get. So belt-tighten and save as much as one can. Also know there will be cuts in social security starting in 2030.
If you want a serious downer, go look at website fiverr, a labor exchange (heavily foreign workers). I saw people there asking $5 an hour to do AI engineering. Rates on a lot of other things are at third world levels.
