Firstly, it is absolutely galling but not shocking at this point, at the amount (appears to be just under 23K based on the total tally of listed IBM salaries) of H1-Bs IBM has on salary and then the staggering amount of money that they are paying them, according to these figures.
Secondly, there are apparently H1-B (or similar) visa holders who are listed as Senior VPs in Human Resources making $530K(?!) annually in NY, NY. That's the position with the highest salary with the rest decreasing from there.

Insider has built a searchable database of over 250,000 salaries from more than 250 companies so that you can know how much you should be paid.
America has long had a taboo against salary sharing, and public disclosures are only required when companies hire immigrant using different visas.
Insider has compiled that public information into a database, searchable by employer name, industry, type of job, and job location. Firms like Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Google, and Amazon were selected by Insider's reporters because of their newsworthiness and how popular they are with job hunters.

For a long time, sharing salary information has been a major taboo in America, which makes it difficult to know how much you should be getting paid. The only public disclosures in America come from companies that hire immigrant workers using a slate of different visas.
To help prepare you for your next salary negotiation, Insider has created a searchable database of the last three years of salary disclosures, collected from the USCIS website, curated to a range of more than 250 companies that Insider reporters regularly cover. The data is filterable by employer name, type of job, and job location, catching the differences between software engineers in Silicon Valley and Miami.
The data covers a representative range of some of the largest and most important companies across industries. Reporters selected the companies that they cover based off of their newsworthiness and how highly sought after they are by potential employees.
It’s important to note that this data comes from visa-holding employees, and not American citizens or permanent residents. While it is indicative of what these companies pay for similar jobs across the board, it is not absolute. For example, the H1-B Visa program requires employers to pay the “prevailing wage” for a position that they’re hiring for, but companies can classify employees at a lower-level than their actual job.
The data also does not include bonus pay or equity grants. That’s especially relevant on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, where these variable components can make up a big chunk of overall compensation.
Still, this database provides the best possible picture of what employees are paid at certain companies from public data. You can search for salaries in the searchbar above.
