Sixty percent of H-1B positions certified by the U.S. Department of Labor are assigned wage levels well below the local median wage for the occupation. Not surprisingly, three-fifths of all H-1B jobs were certified at the two lowest prevailing wage levels in 2019 I wonder how Americans are paid in terms of base bay. https://www.epi.org/publication/h-1b-visas-and-prevailing-wage-levels/#tech If you are a American, please provide your base pay (Bay area only)
aka WITCH
You insulting bay area citizens by limiting at 300K?
Base can be more than 300k? I didn't know.. Are you a director or something?
Not for me: Rally pays π₯ But there are many with 300k+.
Coz WITCH companies obtain majority of fresh H1Bs. Lateral hiring is at market rate even if youβre h1b holder. However body shops are always fishing for lower paid folks
How itβs different than employers pays min wages? There is no law that defines salary threshold for work visa (H1, L1, H2, J1, E3, TN, O1 etc.)
very true. Oracle employees a lot of H1B at low pay levels. Employees are now stuck at their job waiting for Greencard approvals. It is a known fact that Oracle is a minority community employer.
Stop tying work visas to specific employers.
Silicon valley will die without visa workers
Nope
Did an immigrant take your job? ππ
US firms dont pay low wages to H1Bs. Some US firms contract out work to some Indian companies( with offices in the US). And those companies pay low wages. Trust me, even Indians in the US dont want this to happen. And orange man was going to increase the minimum wage for H1Bs in order to reduce this abuse. But sleepy Joe removed that change. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2021/02/17/trump-dol-wage-rule-remains-threat-to-h-1b-visas-and-immigrants/
This is well known. But if you criticize this you may be labeled xenophobic.
It's xenophobic if you use this as a reason to hate on immigrants instead of their employers.
