average salary of h1b holder in bay area is $91k [1]. If startups can't beat that, they don't deserve employees. [1] https://www.businessinsider.com/h-1b-visa

  You seem to have not comprehended the parent poster's suggestion. He wants the highest salaries to be given precedence. This has nothing whatsoever to do with whether startups can afford the average salary.

    My point -- communicated poorly -- is the average salaries h1b startup employees are being paid is quite low. There's lots of room for them to grow. Further, why shouldn't we allocate visas to the most valuable, ie highest paying, uses?

      >>Further, why shouldn't we allocate visas to the most valuable, ie highest paying, uses? For this question to be valid, you first need to demonstrate that someone's value can accurately be determined by their salary and their salary only, and that any difference in salary between two people is the result of differences in the value they offer (as opposed to, say, being able to interview well, or knowing someone high up in the company).
