What this data does & doesn't show
- Base salary only — H1B disclosures don't include equity, sign-on bonuses, or annual cash bonuses, which are often substantial at biotech.
- H1B-sponsored roles only — US citizens / permanent residents may negotiate higher or lower than these figures.
- Across all job titles — includes both research-scientist and engineering roles, which can differ significantly.
- Snapshot in time — H1B figures reflect FY2026 Q1 (Oct-Dec 2025) disclosures; current offers may have shifted.
