Looked it up, 130k is 93.6 percentile for 2016

There won't be much impact on h1b bankers. If the bill passes, $130k min salary will only apply to h1b dependent companies

They making the same mistake as the min wage people... just a new number isn't enough, you need to peg it to an index so the problem corrects itself every year. With this, we will be back in 10 years discussing new minimums as 130k 2027 <<< 130k 2017

I read that the 130k number is calculated based on 90% percentile wage so that would take care of inflation.

As long as it's worded as 90 percentile wage and not 130k . Btw, does 130k put you in the 90th percentile nationally ? Thought it would be much higher

I guess this does not affect those who currently already hold H1B status?

Only h1b dependent employers I.e. 15+ % people on h1

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly.

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?
