H-1B wage level

Level IV$184,4134 entries

$4,413 more$184,413 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 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 $184,413 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Data Scientists" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Data Scientists (15-2051) · Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.
