> it literally can make you waste years of your life
Not sure why you would consider those years "wasted".
You're working, gaining experience and making money. Since the job market is great, an H-1B isn't really something that would keep you back from negotiating your salary or anything else.
Getting the green card is a bit different, but there have been some reforms over the last few years.
I'd personally recommend it (having been on L-1B and H-1B).

Yes, you are right. Thanks! I was kind of depressed because of my slim chances, but with all these responses I certainly am looking differently at this situation.

The H1B chances are kinda slim. I'd personally recommend finding more than 1 employer willing to sponsor. Alternatively there is always the non-profit ones that are cap exempt.
