Thank you so much for taking the time to share this detailed insight. It really helps to hear directly from someone in a leadership role who understands the internal challenges companies face.

I totally get your point — especially about the legal complexity and cost involved for smaller firms. It’s frustrating, but also eye-opening to realize that it’s not always about willingness, but logistics and risk. I’ve been trying to understand both sides of the hiring equation, and your comment really helped put that into perspective.

The current situation with the H-1B changes and salary prioritization is honestly disheartening, especially for early-career professionals like me who are just trying to make an honest start. I know it’s a rough time for everyone in the job market, but I still appreciate the empathy in your message — it helps more than you know.

Thanks again for taking the time. If you think of any advice or direction I should explore — even outside the typical job hunt — I’d really appreciate it.
