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?
- it depends where you live
- how tight that job market is
- and with inflation these days, probably 2x that.
Bit of a rant, but many things I buy are 40% more than a year ago, some are 100%, yes double the price. That means aalaries should follow the same metric.

Mediocre companies (or good startups who aren't considering this stuff too deeply) file with the exact salary.
Scam companies pay below what they filed (illegal).
That being said, most people don’t use the internet this way, and websites like OP have been used maliciously as lures to collect targeted data, such as an email list of people interested in H1Bs..
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.
For the uninformed - what is the point of these sites? Do they serve as proxy for a more general wage database? I’m guessing there’s some disclosure law for h1b
That’s the idea. At least in theory, H1B salaries are meant to be in line with what native workers are paid.
Most of these high salaries $1M+ are either "Withdrawn" or "Denied".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
