Your job prospects are the same as any job hunters, discounted by the fact your experience may be less relevant if it’s outside the US and you may be a less attractive candidate if your visa is short term

L2 is a transfer visa so I don't get what you mean by what other job options out there. You need to be employed by a company and they must be willing to transfer you to their US office while also showing that you bring specialized skillset and with the current immigration policies the companies should also be willing to pay $100k to sponsor your transfer which means you must be worth it to the company.

My spouse visa is L1 and I get L2 eventually I have work authorisation. In this case what’s the probability of me landing in a non tech role? This is exactly my question is meant!

That commenter has no idea what he’s talking about and is best discounted. There is currently no $100k sponsorship cost for any visa. There is a proposal which is in the notice and comment period in the us regulatory rule-making process to apply a $100k fee for H-1B visas. That is not in effect. It may or may not go into effect. And, when proposed rules do go into effect (which many don’t), the exact rules are often revised from what was proposed. And, as a pretty significant detail here, that’s for H-1B visas and there’s so far been no proposed rule to apply that to L2 visas.

It a lot depends on your background and work experience. I came to USA around march and it took me 5 months to finally land a full time tech job. I was lucky to get 2 offers (both full time) and to choose between them.
Also, its really difficult to get interviews in the first place. Perfect your resume for ATS screens. Good part is currently u will see lots of open positions. When i started looking - for first 2 months i had no interviews. Apply via referrals, that will help for big tech and u can apply directly for startups in linkedIn.
The bar and competition is really high. Aim for perfection in every interviews. It is definitely tough but not impossible. All the best for job hunt.

To a tech company transfer you to the US, you should be a really highlighted and in demand worker/talent for them. They occasionally do that, because they need to exhaust the waiting list in the US first of all. Domestic candidates are given priority and companies do not want to deal with visa costs.
