Need for Sponsorship

Applying for UK Skilled Worker Visa from India (Renewables/Sustainability) after previous UK Master’s?

With the Skilled Worker Visa salary threshold now at £41,700, how realistic is it to find sponsorship for junior-to-mid level engineering roles when applying from overseas (India)?

I am aware that as a recent UK graduate, I may qualify for the "New Entrant" rate (now £33,400), but I’m unsure if recruiters are hesitant to sponsor from abroad given these high bars and the current market sentiment.

Has anyone successfully secured sponsorship in the Green Energy/Renewables sector from outside the UK recently? Any tips on specific "sponsor-friendly" firms or how to approach the salary negotiation given these thresholds would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
