H-1B wage level

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $111,176 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 "Computer Occupations, All Other" for prevailing-wage purposes.

The determination expires in 13 days (2026-09-20), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.
