So source: “trust me bro”?

This is an incredibly obnoxious response. This isn't a court. People can site their professional experience in an informal conversation.

You know what’s actually obnoxious? spreading nonsense for internet points. This is all public data btw so you can easily go on DOL website and pull those apps with real salaries.

If we are trading anecdotes here I personally dont know any h1bs who are making less than 300k total comp. Hows that for obnoxious?

I thought the same, I wasn't going to feed the troll so remained silent.
