H-1B wage level

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

Level III · 3×
Level I$109,8451 entry
Level II$137,7172 entries
Level III$165,5893 entries
Level IV$193,4614 entries

$18,461 more — $193,461 — 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 $193,461 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 "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.
