I got approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn, although it's obvious from my profile where my location is... After chatting, he told me sorry for inconveniences but they're not in the process of sponsoring visa right now.
The role was SWE II in C+E.
Did Microsoft stop sponsoring visas? Or is it for specific roles only?
I know that since Trump and the process of sponsoring H1-B visas has been limited. Is it back again or still too hard to get?
I also noticed it's much easier to get to interviews at Meta and Amazon in EU rather than US.

My guess is that they don’t want to indefinitely wait for you since h1b is literally a lottery. You’ll have to come to the US with other visas first. i.e. via L1 (internal transfer) as mentioned in the above comment.
Because of the probabilistic nature of H1, you can’t directly go to US on H1 I think.
