Those whose H1Bs were not picked in time (usually 3 years of OPT), what did you do?

Three years on OPT, this was my final try and I did not get picked for H1B. Worst case if there's no second lottery like last year (seems highly unlikely), what are my options if I wish to continue working for my company/in the US? Do I have to temporarily move to Canada till the time it's picked and my status is transitioned to H1? Until I complete that one year in Canada, can my employer apply for L1 so I most definitely come back to the US?
What did *you* do? What are my options? My current employer (not intu) doesn't have a tech team in Canada but does have some presence in Canada (corporate I guess).

If you decide to take some loophole to stay in US or move to Canada and come back on L1, your struggles will never end.
I know it might suck to hear this but trust me, going back to India is absolutely nothing wrong considering the fuckin high salaries people are getting there.

How does Canada help here ?
Canada as a temporary option compared to any other country
