Question on arranged marriage

Hi,

Background: 27 M. Soon to become 28. BTech from Tier I institute Working in FAANG as a software engineer From Dalit community and Manglik

My parents have been searching for a bride for 1.5 years. From my side, I am mostly focused on a good education and a good career. This is because I feel that I have invested so much of my time in my career, unless someone who has gone through the same grind, won't be able to understand my efforts. We don't have any caste constraints but my family believes in horoscopes and the other side seems to consider both of them. This is significantly reducing my choices. I have been rejected by other community girls multiple times because of my caste and horoscope. In our community there are very few girls having that good career. Because of this, my family is very worried and is requesting me to lower down my expectations. But I honestly don't feel that I am asking for too much here. I feel that if I bend this life decision, I would remain bent forever in my life.

Wanted to check with someone who has gone through a similar time and how did they navigate it?
