Although the Immigration regulations does not actually address this scenario, DOL confirms that in a situation like COVID where salaries are being reduced across board in a company, there would be no need for a new LCA or an amendment petition provided that the employer was still paying the required wage” [meaning the higher of the applicable prevailing wage or actual wage]. Any change in the H-1B holders wage rate must be disclosed in the next H-1B petition filing with USCIS

This is helpful thank you!

No ..it is much simpler to lay them off..cutting pay for h1b will invite legal problems

Does anyone have insight on what a trading/portfolio manager role should make at a smaller RIA (less than $2B AUM).

I head our firm block trading and oversee all daily trading and rebalancing for client service members and financial advisors.

Assuming my review is good, should I ask for more base, higher OTE for a larger bonus, or more immediately vested equity?

Equity after one year 25%, then accrued monthly for 3 years until 100% vested
