Are corporate strategy and business development roles considered “specialty occupation”? As a consultant on a visa I want to be prepared to plan exit accordingly. I’ve also had people mention that even Product Manager doesn’t qualify for H1B anymore- is that true?! If that’s the case, feels like only way to exit is to wait until my visa status changes or explore opportunities at home.

Not true. Every profession has roles that fit under speciality occupation (marketing, strategy, HR etc) apart from the usual tech roles. A judgement was passed on this recently.
