base salary is similar everywhere. equity comp is highly dependent on how much leverage you have and what other offers you have.

- umanwizard 6y agoEquity is part of what was reverse-engineered and is also in clear bands. There was no obvious difference between visa holders and others. Indeed, H1B holders might have less negotiation leverage. That’s a real problem but not really what we’re discussing.
- tempsy 6y agoSo you’re arguing compensation has zero to do with preference for H1-Bs over American workers?
- umanwizard 6y agoI'm arguing that there is in fact no preference for H1-Bs over American workers, at least for software engineers. Facebook wants to hire anyone who passes its interview process.
- username90 6y agoFacebook doesn't prefer H1-B's over American workers. This suit isn't about Facebook hiring H1-B's over American workers. It is about Facebook not properly advertising the jobs of H1-B's they have already hired to American workers. It is pretty obvious that you'd rather keep a worker that has already worked for you for many years over hiring a new guy who would need to get up to speed etc, even if they cost the same.
- vkou 6y agoumanwizard is correct, in that salary + bonus + equity has been thoroughly reverse-engineered by FANG employees, and that H1Bs get equal pay for equal work, as their non-immigrant co-workers. FANG hires anyone who can pass their hiring bar, regardless of their background, and there is always a shortage of applicants passing that hiring bar.
