My salary is missing. I earn well over $300k base salary, and H-1B'd in California, 2014. My salary is on visadoor, but not here. If my high salary is missing, what other high salaries are missing, too? Does this give us a distribution that is distorted low?

There are only 4 cases in CA in 2014 with salaries between 300K and 400K.

Since this information is public, what are these companies names? It is too painful to scrape visadoor.com for this information.

It's probably also missing lower salaries and middle salaries.

browsing visadoor, I now see a number of high salaries are missing.

If visadoor ever read this, please add salary range filters to http://visadoor.com/h1bvisa-database. E.g., only show offered salaries >= 300000. Thanks!

Visadoor builder here. Thanks for the feedback. Its on my todo list.

What data are you seeing missing? AFAIK its pretty accurate, but http://visadoor.com/h1bvisa-database is the archive database and is usually upto a quarter old.

Realtime (updated daily) is at http://visadoor.com/h1b-lca-database.

Sorry, visadoor looks accurate, but I meant to say that the salaries were missing in the new distribution visualization.

BTW - thanks for visadoor!
