that’s not true - it’s pretty easy to switch. Your application does not count against new quota - employer just needs to pay a lawyer to file paperwork and done. Been there, done that.
It’s not easy to switch. I’ve been on this more than a decade ago and if you’re laid off or leave you have 60 days to find something new.
Any job you take you need your new employer to be able to undertake the effort for H1B renewals and the inevitable green card application. There’s big companies that do it and smaller ones that will absolutely refuse to.
Either way an H1B prefers to stick around until the green card is done. They will not willingly prior to that unless they see a much better offer.
I have run across multiple job postings stating that they would not accept applicants needing company support on visas so at a bare minimum they are cut off from that portion of the economy and have a harder time than Americans would
