Every H-1B filing reports a wage. Career Copilot turns those filings into salary benchmarks, so you never accept a lowball offer just because you need sponsorship.

Companies count on international candidates not knowing the numbers. But the wages employers report on H-1B filings are public, which means you can walk into any offer knowing what similar sponsored roles actually pay — and negotiate from data instead of hope.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a role

    Search your job title to see the wages employers report for sponsored positions.

  2. 2

    Compare by employer

    See how pay varies across companies for the same role.

  3. 3

    Filter by location

    Wages differ by city and state. Narrow to where you plan to work.

  4. 4

    Benchmark your offer

    Line up an offer against the real market range before you say yes.

  5. 5

    Negotiate from data

    Use the reported wages as a grounded anchor when you counter.

Data beats a gut feeling

When you need sponsorship, it is easy to feel you have no leverage and to accept whatever is offered. That instinct costs international workers a lot of money over a career.

The wage data on public filings gives you a real anchor. A number you can point to changes the entire tone of a salary conversation, and it is one every candidate can access.

Frequently asked questions

Where does H-1B salary data come from?

From the Labor Condition Applications and H-1B petitions employers file with the US Department of Labor, which report a wage for each position.

Can I compare pay across companies?

Yes. You can see how the same role is paid at different sponsors, which is useful when weighing offers.

Does higher pay mean a stronger sponsor?

Not always, but wage plus filing volume together give a fuller picture of how a company treats sponsored talent.
