#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Oh my god, $350k for a senior software engineer? I'm absolutely floored.
Really not that much when you take out the taxes, food and housing premium of the area. That is what should floor you as well
You are utterly and completely incorrect.
$30,000 a month is a fantastic salary. No ifs, ands or buts.

#23Hmm, was hoping this would show the denied percentage, but the "denied" column doesn't corresponds to reality, not sure what it's supposed to represent.

Nevermind, there's one making $1.5M. I just stopped looking too early.

#25What about the thousands that companies bring with L1s and B1s?

#26Check out Wal Mart during year 2002. Either there is some interesting story or the data has a problem. Average salary goes up by about 50 times before dropping back down by about as much the next year.
Edit: Being there are so many Wal Marts, I mean this one. http://data.jobsintech.io/companies/wal-mart-associates-inc

#27Hello everyone. I quickly built this little tool based on public records provided by the government. The amount of information they provide is incredible. There are no explicit names, but for small startup or exec position it is easy to guess who is who. As far as I know this is the biggest LCA database so far.
Great implementation. I've seen the raw data before but never had the web development skills to execute on this idea. Can you also add a query where once you select a company and year, it groups by title and gives average salary.
For a company and a given year, you can search by title.

#28Interesting to see the salary ranges at my employer. With similar titles, the range is quite large, even within the same physical location. And modifiers like "senior" or "principal" don't appear to correlate with the listed salary.

#29What's being used on the front-end to display the tables and pages and the back-end to store all the info? Time required to create? Other fun details? (I ask because I have another dataset I want to work on recreating online in a searchable manner)
Front End: twitter bootstrap. Back End: RoR+postgreSQL I roughly spent a week on it. At first I was cleaning and moving some data around with RoR but it didn't seemed right to me. Then I started poking around with postgreSQL and once you get a hold of it, it's super powerful and does most of the job. Use indexes... on fairly large datasets it really makes a difference.
Let me know if you need a helping hand. :)

I understand that highly compensated engineers get to solve unique challenges on grand scale, enjoy their jobs and are
generally content with their professional positions.
But I just can't stop wishing for those engineers using their immense knowledge, authority and financial resources to bootstrap own tech companies and improve the diversity of the tech ecosystem. They don't need venture backing, they don't have pressing need to compromise and have the means to experiment with new business models, whether it is open source, open-* or social enterprises.
