Two Very Different Types of Sponsor
Direct employers (Big Tech)
Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Meta hire you directly for long-term roles. You typically get:
- Higher salaries (median $160,000 to $200,000+)
- Better benefits and job security
- Green card sponsorship as a standard part of the deal
IT consulting firms (staffing model)
Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, and similar firms hire workers and place them at client sites. The experience is fundamentally different:- Wages often sit at DOL's prevailing wage floor (Level 1 or 2)
- Your work authorization depends on continuous client placement
- Green card sponsorship is less common or takes much longer
What the LCA Data Shows
From the 239,477 LCA filings in the most recent fiscal year:
- Mean salary: $134,604
- Median salary: $123,000
- Computer-related roles represent 65.2% of all H1B positions
