In the Verge article, are you talking about the table the the "presumably" qualifier in the table column headers? If so, not only is it clear they don't know what, exactly, is a attributable to the costs, but also that they mention "gross pay", which is AKA "compensation." When a company refers to compensation, they include all benefits: 401k contributions, the value of health insurance, vacation time, social security, bonuses, and any other benefits. When I was running development organizations, a developer who cost me $180k was probably only taking $90k of that home. The rest of it went to benefits. The rule of thumb was for every dollar of salary negotiated, I had to budget 1.5-2x that amount. The numbers in "Presumably: Gross pay" column are very likely cost-to-company, not take-home pay.
I have some serious questions about the data from "h1bdata.info". It claims one software engineer has a salary of $25,304,885? They've got some pretty outlandish salaries in there; a program manager in NY making $2,400,000? I'm sceptical about the source of the data on that website. The vast number of the salaries for engineers, even in that table, are in the range of $100k - 180k, largely dependent on location, and a far cry from a take-home salary of 500,000€.
It’s government reporting data. If you find a better source I say go for it. But I used that data for salary negotiations in the past successfully.
I’m not talking about take home. I’m talking about total annual compensation including things like RSU payouts etc.
Even if we throw out the ones you doubt there are many 300k to 400k entries with the AI researcher title. If we add annualized RSU payouts we easily hit over €500k.
At this point t though you are free to doubt me.
