> H-1B employees need to have above average compensation or their field.

In the past decade or so, I have personally worked with an H-1B in the SF Bay Area who was working a full-time software position advertised as requiring a Master's degree, but was making something like $120k/year.

"Must be making above the median pay for the position" might be the way it's SUPPOSED to work, but it's clear that it doesn't ALWAYS work that way.



How long ago was this? If it was long enough in the past, 120k might have been enough. If not, the employer simply broke the law.


It was roughly fifteen years ago.

120k was not enough.
