This seems to show about 86,000 records total, but aren't there about that many H1B opportunities available each year? Are the salaries not reported again each year, just in the year of the hire? Is there a way to get the unique set of all H1B salaries currently employed in the US?

These data just reflect the statutory labor certifications filed as part of the H1B process. Like with the PERM filings for green cards they tend to understate compensation in tech since they only include basic salary and not stock bases compensation which is normally half of your total comp as a senior.

It's just one position, not an average. There are other positions with the same title with higher salaries. Quantitative Research can be anything, basically just an Excel inputer could be called that.

I think salary expectations on HN, in tech and in the US are a bit off. Do you really believe someone crunching numbers is worth USD 600000 per year?
