The bottom of this range ($118,400) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $124,842. An H-1B cannot be filed below the prevailing wage, so an offer at the floor of this band could not be sponsored as posted.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $154,690 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Computer and Information Systems Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.
