H-1B wage level

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry

Level II · 2×
Level I$77,5841 entry

Level IV$165,8184 entries

$3,406 more — $136,406 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $136,406 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Data Scientists" for prevailing-wage purposes.
