Makes more sense to list firms that don’t…. Not even sure if it would legal to not hire someone who already has H1-B. And all firms I know of will sponsor it where needed.

To be honest, most law firms do not provide H-1B sponsorship. Even for those who have sponsored H-1B in the past years, almost NONE of them are willing to sponsor H-1B now.

Basis for this? Which firms don’t? Naturally skeptical about industry insights from “Law Clerk” and this is contrary to what I know from my position on the recruiting committee at a V5 (and we also have insight into what peer firms are doing—H1-B sponsorship is still very standard).

How bad does it look to future employers for an experienced attorney (15+ years) who is pivoting into a different practice area and looking to lateral after only having been at their current/first job for 4-5 months in the new practice area? I've been told by a recruiter that it's not a deal breaker because of my experience level. But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.
