Increase the count and also the minimum salary. It's bonkers that the $65k minimum from 1989 has never been updated, especially given which cities many H1B immigrants need to live.
- derwiki 6y agoTangential anecdata, but 65k was my starting salary at IBM in San Jose in 2007 as non-H-1B
- dilyevsky 6y agoH1b min salary is adjusted based on locale. Mountain View , CA was ~90k around 2011 if I recall correctly
