Yes, your analysis is correct. This is why the transparency is important.

Check out www.h1bdata.info for what h1b holders are getting paid. The US Department of Labor forces this disclosure and is pretty up to date.

Your tiny startup's cheap workers are probably in there too and you can deduce exactly who they are even though the names aren't in the disclosures.

H-1B applications often exclude expected value of bonus and RSUs (mine does) and can understate comp at bigtech by ~60k (entry level) to ~150k (mid level) to ~300k+ (senior+).

Yeah the salary listed on the Labor Condition Application is a minimum the company must meet or exceed. When I was on H1-B it was lower than my actual salary.
