Thanks for sharing this!
I suspect that the salary listed for certified petitions may be capturing the upper end of the range of salary provided in the LCA for the job/position rather than the actual salary.
It does seem off but it's directly from the Department of Labor data. The DOL LCA filings often have these misreportings where the hourly rate field is entered incorrectly, or an extra digit is added. Data cleanliness is still a huge issue, I'm realizing after working on this project.
Thinking about adding an outlier removal or flagging feature to get the obvious ones out.
Seems like this might be a data entry error in the DOL LCA filings. We are presenting the data as is, but can flag it to remove it. It does seem like a clear error, where it an extra digit was entered, or the hourly rate field was filled incorrectly.
And to clarify, this is a separate page, and separate data from the Levels.fyi total compensation data. I also doubt the US Department of Labor was reporting wages in Rupees lol, but it does seem like an error. Will take a look, and see if we can add some sort of outlier removal.

It would be great if I could jump directly to a specific page. I wanted to see the median wage by jumping to page ~2500
Thanks for the feedback, would be nice to actually have aggregate stats right at the top perhaps too. So you can view a summary of the data.
There's a SWE II at Affirm earning ~$2M base? Surely that's some sort of data error?

200k base sounds about right. Likely off by 1 error
Search/Data in general is incomplete and doesnt match the heatmap. Good idea though
I doubt Robert Bosch is paying $1.7M base salary for a software engineer.
Rupees are NOT dollars.
Congratulations on messing up Levels.FYI’s data!
