The number I've been hearing is that even early-career positions will have to pay at least $208k base salary (not including any equity) in the bay area, which seems totally out of reach for most companies.
- coderintherye 6y agoDepends on what you define as "early-career". The rule is based on junior vs. senior positions. This article explains it well: https://news.efinancialcareers.com/us-en/3004591/h1b-visas-finance-tech-minimum-pay https://news.efinancialcareers.com/us-en/3004591/h1b-visas-f... In short, no $208k is not the minimum for junior positions, it just needs to be at or above the median wage for those positions.
- jlj 6y agoIf a company needs early-career talent H1-B might not be the right avenue. It was intended for highly skilled talent not available in-country. Experienced talent in software engineering should clear 200k no problem. H1-B portability would be great to see. It would encourage companies to treat people as humans, not endentured servants.
- uberman 6y agoWhile the $200k number gets tossed around a lot, the proposed rule is actually: "H1B applicants will need to be earning a salary equivalent to the 45th percentile of their profession's salary if they're an entry-level worker, rising to 95th percentile for higher-skilled workers. In the past, the boundaries were set at the 17th and 67th percentiles respectively."
