That is so true for me too. Many, and I mean +50 people have told me during the past +3 years that I am an awesome engineer, that I have the skills of a senior, but then no company wants to risk sponsoring an immigration process, and finding a good company while applying for a remote job is difficult — at least that is what I have found — and by "good company" I mean a company in a market that interests me, because to be fair there are thousands of companies out there that would hire someone with my profile if it weren't because their niche is too new, too risky, or too vague.
After ~6 years learning about immigration processes I have to say that it is the stupidest thing governments could invent. If you have the desire and the means (aka. money and education / work experience) to move to another country, then why are there so many road-blocks? Why do the process takes so much time? Why are rejections so vague? Why not explain the reasons for the rejection with more details so you can improve your profile and try next year? Why are work visas so damn expensive for the companies? — Actually I understand the reason behind the last question, but still.
