I've been surprised to see a lot of total compensation levels above 200k-300k and while having 8 years experience and making nowhere near that, I'm naturally wondering what do people know and do for that money. Being an L1 visa slave the only thing I can do until liberation is to hone my skills and learn new ones. I know you can't be very specific in order to preserve anonymity so please share as much as you feel comfortable about what you do. I'm mainly interested in: - total compensation a year, ballpark is ok - years of experience - legal status (citizen, visa, green card) - position, role - skills, tech, soft, responsibilities, achievements
Total comp $250k Eng Manager H1 8 yrs experience I personally feel passion will drive you to learn more and make you stand out. Very important thing is you should know how to ask for more compensation, jumping companies at the right time along with some luck of being at the right place at the right time. Being on L1 you don't have much of an option.

Can you share what programming languages you use and how good you are relative to the average in the company ?
Mostly c++, some python, occasionally java, scala, bash. The programming language that you use is irrelevant to what you make. The important thing is what you can do with it. BTW, I am a little above average, always get really good perf reviews.
