I work in finance, and browsing this list reinforces the assumption that people on H-1Bs are just cheap labor for employers. Most people on this list whose positions I can determine with confidence seem to make 10-20% too little.
Unless you went into bodyshop companies like TCS, Infosys etc. to make yourself feel angry.

That's not an unreasonable total compensation level for senior engineers in the bay area. Remember that Netflix does not typically offer bonuses, stock grants, etc, and just pays people a salary. While most other big tech companies (eg, Google) have salary as 1/2 to 3/4 of your total compensation, with the remainder being bonus and stock grants (or options). So in the Google table here, you will see far lower salarie…
Isn't it better the Google way? You will be taxed less since you can keep the stock for 1+ year and get taxed at the Long Term Capital Gains rate. Being almost all salary will get you taxed to death.

When searching for "google", one can find few interestingly named companies, like "google iniiii iiiiiiiiiiiiii": http://data.jobsintech.io/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&employer=goo... I wonder what those are about.
Wow, immigrants have no privacy in this country. Imagine, if US citizen salaries were made public like this. How would that make you feel?

That is senseless, you dont need citizen control to check that the salaries are prevailing wages, that is a job that can be done by the government with multiple different agencies at a very low level of cost or risk. Also, it doesnt make sense because it doesnt include US employees salary of the same companies which is what you need to make that fair/unfair comparison. Even worse, the immigrants themselves can't make…
The fact that this information is available to citizens is a purely exclusion measure, No it's not. The records in question aren't public because they involve foreign workers. They are public because the records involve a program run by the government.

Or maybe because of their high turnover, to compensate the risk of what is known as "the culture of fear" there.
For $300k+ I'll take on some risk.

Isn't that because they hire a very small amount of very experienced people?
It's also because they explicitly prefer to shift as much compensation as possible towards salary as opposed to stock, benefits, perks, etc. They released a long presentation about why they do this, I think it's somewhere on Slideshare.
