H1B data only lists base salary. Bonus, RSUs and other perquisites are never included unless part of base. You can safely multiply by 2 the salary number there

H1B data only lists base salary. Bonus, RSUs and other perquisites are never included unless part of base.
You can safely multiply by 2 the salary number there and still you are not likely to exceed the post-tax salary listed in that database.
- pandaman 7y agoWhy by 2, why not by 10? What is the basis of your claim? You make an evidence-free claim against a solid number. Here is another, less solid number which does not look good for your claim's validity: glassdoor's average base salary for an Uber's software engineer in San Jose area is $148750 and average additional pay (bonuses, RSUs etc) is 12011. From the same data, the minimum base is 118K. Now, I don't think it's very reliable, but I would think it's extremely improbable that it both inflated the base salary and greatly underestimated additional pay (by the factor of 10 vs your claim). From this I can safely conclude that 109K Uber's H1Bs in Palo Alto make much less than the average there, even without knowing how much they get in additional pay (if anything at all).
