Compensation spread. Offered wages on Carnegie Mellon University’s H-1B petitions range from $47,476 at the low end to $693,326 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $92,658.

H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.
