Personalize to your clock →H-1B wage level
the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$13,118 more — $118,768 — moves this role to Level II and 2 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 $118,768 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 "Electronics Engineers, Except Computer" for prevailing-wage purposes.
