I would like a labor or immigration lawyer's opinion on the following:

In the U.S., working with an H1B visa as staff augmentation is prohibited since the visa requires that the employee's superior, who controls and supervises their work, must be from the same company that handled the immigration paperwork. This law is frequently violated by many consultancies.

What about near-shore or off-shore workers? Is it legal for them to work as staff augmentation for U.S. companies?

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
