Compensation spread. Offered wages on Darden Corporation’s H-1B petitions range from $90,000 at the low end to $171,500 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $136,150. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Sr.Systems Engineer-Technical Lead, Portal & Digital Applica (3 petitions at $158,833 avg), followed by Sr. Programmer Analyst - POS and Sr. Systems Engineer Tech Lead, Digital Platform&Applic Supp. 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.
