I think we're seeing the wrong columns; prevailing wage is an immigration law term that speaks to the average wage paid for similar work in similar occupations in the same area. That's why we see so many repeated values. These aren't the actual salaries.

Good catch. There are two sets of numbers. Prevailing wage is data from BLS that sets a floor for H1B wages. Companies often pay much more.

ok, citadel, totally believable salaries here. is this a typo? theres a zero missing. Quantitative Research Lead CITADEL SECURITIES AMERICAS SERVICES LLC US$55058.00 US$55058.00 1 Quantitative Researcher Citadel Securities Americas LLC US$67288.00 US$67288.00 1 Quantitative Researcher Citadel Securities Americas Services LLC US$67288.00 US$67288.00 1

There is an important caveat here. H1B filings only includes guaranteed compensation, which is your base salary. Stocks and bonuses are not included here. That’s why you’ll see data points like Meta paying 200k for a VP level H1B. I reality they are absolutely not underpaying H1Bs at VP level and the person is printing millions a year.

I created a site similar to this few weeks ago https://h1binfo.org/ It has 5M+ records containing H1B salary data from 2014 - 2023 and uses Meilisearch.

I'm seeing salaries of $17M/year ..

https://h1binfo.org/visa/464448 Looks like the application was "Withdrawn". Most probably a typo when filing?

Most of these high salaries $1M+ are either "Withdrawn" or "Denied". But there are other applications "Certified" at around $1M/Year. https://h1binfo.org/visa/469433

Hey your website looks great, I started looking around and unfortunately hit a HTTP 500 within 2 clicks :( For e.g. https://h1binfo.org/jobs/Assistant%20Professor/2023 shows a SQL query error.

Btw, very cool to see a 2023 website powered by PHP Symfony :) it's been a LONG time since I worked with PHP frameworks but good to see them still in use in newer sites.
