Is 80-90k USD/year a good salary in Jacksonville Florida? Can we negotiate offered salary on H1B visa? How much can we save if living single and how much if living with family (wife and one year child)?
We both have 30LPA combined in India.

In hand would be 5.5-6k USD per month , for a single person if you live below means you can save ~4k USD . With family , expenses are on the higher side , not sure about your lifestyle assuming a frugal lifestyle , savings can be ~2 k . In USA the inflation and living expenses are raising .

I've heard that people with 8-9 YOE earn 150-200 USD/year also. How about that? Isn't it possible to ask or negotiate before going on H1B?

They might give u. They might not.
We can ask but u can check tcs salary in usa.
And there will be pay range

30 LPA in India is a very good income. Like you said you are going on H1b, so your partner will not be immediately able to work on H4 dependent visa, you need to hv i140 approved for your partner's EAD which is a loooong process. I was in exactly same boat few months back but eventually dropped my plan bcoz i realised its better here, you have househelps, good schools and medical care. Not trying to demotivate you but i did so much research. You can actually try if this works for you. Go individually and see for few months how life treats you there and then later move your family. Considering you have one year old it will be very difficult for your wife to manage everything alone there as day cares are very expensive. Again not trying to demotivate you. Good luck

Thanks for sharing your view

Does anyone here have an experience of filing an EB1A or NIW petition. A law firm suggested me to first do a NIW petition and then follow it up with EB1A. Is it a good strategy to do it this way because NIW is more certain and gets a place in the line? Am I missing something? Should I instead file an EB1A directly?

Also, any good law firm suggestions for EB1A petitions based academic credentials? Thanks for the help
