Excited to share my New Year’s project.For a long time, I’ve wanted to build H-1B data directly into Levels.fyi. Every time I went looking for this data elsewhere, it was a frustrating experience to use. Most H-1B sites felt antiquated, unintuitive, cluttered with ads, or just overwhelming to use. The data was there, but it wasn’t usable, and definitely not pleasant to explore.So out of that frustration, I decided to build the H-1B data experience I personally wanted to use. Right into Levels.fyi.https://levels.fyi/h1b/Some other pages I'm excited about:Wage Heatmap: https://www.levels.fyi/h1b/map/wages/Company H-1B Footprints: https://www.levels.fyi/h1b/map/company/Highest Paying H-1B Jobs: https://www.levels.fyi/h1b/jobs/Top H-1B Cities: https://www.levels.fyi/h1b/city/Top Company Sponsors: https://www.levels.fyi/h1b/sponsors/Would love any feedback, it's definitely still a work in progress.
