Just had a call with a recruiter and he said first thing he needed to verify is that I’m a US citizen and don’t need sponsorship and that he’s met with lots of people the past week who said they were a citizen in their applications but once they meet they say they aren’t citizens and need sponsorship. I understand the market is pretty bad and saturated but I feel like it’s a waste of your time as well if you’re lying about your citizenship just to get an interview for a job you 100% know you can’t take or get an offer for.

Im currently employed and have been working on a B2B SaaS product in advertising tech in my free time and am wondering how everyone has been successful in doing market research and validating their product. I come from a technical background and while I can build, I have no experience in startups and the business side of software. I’ve enjoyed building but would rather validate the product before really sinking time and money into this. Any advice and guidance is really appreciated.
