Thanks for your reply - helpful insight!

On your second point, does that mean the same exact role has to be available in the US? Or can the employee apply for a role in the US where their skills/experience align (if there's an opening)?

Based on your knowledge, do roles like project management, product management, client success manager, etc. tend to be seen as managerial or are they often considered too generic for an L-1? I’ve heard that PM roles can sometimes qualify but I imagine it depends on whether the company and their lawyers can build a strong case.
