Where can I apply for a WFH job opportunity in the Legal niche that matches my experience? I also dream of getting an H1-B in the future. I want to make sure there are no issues or red flags.

It’s unlikely a company would pay the excessive costs associated with sponsoring a non-skilled employee. Lawyers in general are not being sponsored as much and note that those jobs require advanced degrees (usually JD or LLM) and relevant bar admission. So right now it’s unlikely you’ll find any legal job in the U.S. that requires sponsorship, much less a good remote one.

I don't want to sound overly negative, but you may have to adjust your expectations. Remote jobs have become very hard to find, and finding one that would include visa sponsorship is going to be exponentially more difficult. Just getting sponsored for an H1-B is becoming quite an expense, so don't count on that happening.

Honestly, in this market, I don't think there is hope of that happening. There are a lot of unemployed locals, so companies don't need to look outside their borders to find cheap employees. Remote jobs are also extremely rare now.

Has Bain started taking from tier 2 colleges as well? I could see lots of posts for hiring by consultants with no post saying criteria of college! I wonder what is up with that! As far as I know they dont take from any college apart from Top 5-6.

Are Bain expense policies same across levels? Are there any limits to meals/ beverages that you can claim? Is it in line with MBB?
