#223TN Visas for Canadians and Mexicans seem to be missing, even though H1B1s and E3s are shown.
Yeah, they are not the same class.

Oh my god, $350k for a senior software engineer? I'm absolutely floored.
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…
Reasonable would be anywhere close to average. $350K is very much an outlier. It has to be. For every "senior software engineer" you show me making $350K, I'll show you 20 making less than $100K. $350K is insanely great, we're talking top-2% territory.
This seems to happen all the time in the comments here. Someone points out some insane top salary they found at some insane top company, and a bunch of people chime in with comments like "Oh, that seems pretty reasonable actually". It doesn't seem reasonable. It's not anywhere close to any median or mean. It's the far right of the distribution.
Find any company on Glassdoor where $350K is anywhere close to the center of the bar for "senior software engineer". I'll then eat my words.

#226How is it, that in the US people earn between 20k and 200k this easily? It's just insane...
The cost of living is extremely high in many of the places where people earn these wages.
Not 10x higher, though. Also cost of living is now always matched by median income. For instance, in NYC the median household income is 50k - the same as the rest of the nation.

#228According to this site, my company has LCAs with salary 12% to 26% MORE than what I'm making for the same title! I didn't know I was getting screwed like this. I was happy with my job until I saw this site today. I'm not sure what to do now. Should I tell my boss about this and ask for a big raise this year? How would they react if I showed this data to them and demanded that my salary at least match these numbers?
Sorry for that. I don't think anyone can predict how your boss would react to such demand.
That said, it might be that those colleagues making more than you do simply offer more value to the company, or were better negotiators when discussing their job offers.

>everyone is cut out for the startup lifestyle I would not wish startup lifestyle on anyone and I don't advocate for that. I may have been unclear, but the engineers in question are exactly the kind of people who don't need to take outside investments and are able to bootstrap (as in use their own funds and rely on immediate/eventual cashflow). They would have the independence, resources and authority to create self-…
> but the engineers in question are exactly the kind of people who don't need to take outside investments and are able to bootstrap (as in use their own funds and rely on immediate/eventual cashflow). no, they're exactly the kind of person who wouldn't do a startup. you're thinking about this from the wrong end. risk averse people are generally the ones who make $1M/year at salaried jobs, exceptions like financial tr…
I never saw it that way, but it does kinda make sense. Thanks for putting it down!
Re: Show HN: Visa Explorer – Salaries, lawyers, companies of all H-1B in the USA
#230Be aware this shows the salary as it was when the visa was applied for; which is often many months before the visa (end supposedly, the job) begins. I found myself on here (the only H-1B at my company), and the salary is almost $20k less than what I was being paid by the time the visa stamp actually arrived, and $80k less than today (3 years in). As frustrating as actually going through the US immigration system is,…
It's not just that, looking through my current and past entries some of these records just aren't correct, and don't even match the data provided on LCAs etc.
