From what I understand, the H1-B salaries are public, and reported by many websites, such as: https://h1bdata.info/index.php

However, curious -- do these include stock grants, etc? I wonder if the posted numbers are only salary and not TC?

I've been on that list before. Here are some truths for that for which I have ground truth to compare to (my W-2):

* It's base alone - no bonus, no stock

* It's base at the time you get on the visa - so mine was two years and some 80k out of date near the end

* My employer at the time used a standard letter for the four or so of us so we all have the same base listed but I know we didn't have the same base. It looks like it was the lowest value. Presumably they just kept the thing that was working.
