H1B disclosures vs. CompBioJobs postings — quick read
The median midpoint of 18 Biogen job-ad ranges in our database ($135K) is ~7% lower than the H1B median offered base ($145K). The H1B sample skews toward more senior hires; our job ads may include a wider mix of levels including entry-level postings that don't appear in H1B disclosures.
Wage Level & Pay Summary
DOL wage levels reflect seniority: Level I (entry) → Level IV (fully competent).
