The salary information is potentially very useful in negotiations ..
The prevailing wage may not reflect the actual prevailing wage (which is why the H1-B visa is attractive to some employers) and if companies aren't paying much more than the inaccurately low prevailing wage then you may end up short changing yourself.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 pre…
There's a whole class of problems that it only makes sense to devote resources to in the context of a large organization. Compiler, kernel, library work that makes everything a fraction of a percent more efficient is nearly unjustifiable for most small organizations, but of immense value to large companies because of the scale at which they operate. If you happen to be interested in solving those problems, a large co…
Do these numbers include bonus/stock or is it just base?
Hello 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.
Thanks for this! I'm currently looking at opportunities and this would help immensely during negotiations. Would it be possible to search for role + location instead of company first? Essentially the refine functionality you provide on company's yearly page [0] to be at the root. You can perhaps make state or city mandatory so that it doesn't hit your backend hard.

The site shows average salary, but it would be nice to see Median salary. In fact, it might be best to split the salaries into different quartiles.
What is your reasoning for having the upward-facing arrow /\ serve as the descending sort and downward-facing \/ as ascending? It feels backwards to me and a bit counter intuitive.

You can also search Green Card PERMs.
Thanks, this is a very good job so far. I do have one question, though. What is your reasoning for having the upward-facing arrow /\ serve as the descending sort and downward-facing \/ as ascending? It feels backwards to me and a bit counter intuitive.
- LCA for a candidate is filed only once per company as long as he is in the same job role. Factos like getting promoted to Senior X, recent pay-hikes would not get reflected in LCA.
- Wage listed may not include bonus, and other compensation. So dont leave money on the table while negotiating. Crosscheck with glassdoor.
- Companies also go through frequent job title changes, so it is possible you might miss more dataset hidden in other job titles.
- When you are looking for wage related idea, only latest year matters.
- Some people have mentioned earlier that H1B have 10-20% less salary. My personal experience says otherwise. There is always bound to be variation even among non H1B.
Finally - I am not a lawyer, and none of it are legal or professional advice.
