Compensation spread. Offered wages on University of Washington’s H-1B petitions range from $48,969 at the low end to $489,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $113,981. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor (162 petitions at $127,107 avg), followed by Postdoctoral Scholar and Acting Instructor. 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.
