I recently discovered h1bdata.info. Super cool. I was digging around looking at consulting companies that have a huge number of H1Bs and found an employee at Wipro who apparently makes $200M a year. He's listed as a "programmer analyst". The CEO of Wipro makes about $1.5M a year. What's going on here? You can see Wipro's H1B applications here and sort by salary: http://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=WIPRO+LIMITEDThe other interesting thing I noticed is that small town of Bentonville, AR is apparently a major hub for H1B IT workers. Lots of consulting companies list hundreds of people there.

Probably a misprint. But it wouldn't be at all out of place for a senior programmer at Walmart's HQ to be making $200k a year.

A high-frequency trading (HFT) programmer/analyst?I've gotten a lot of spam from HFT recruiters, and one even went so far as to promise me $50M in compensation. I deleted the email, and blocked the recruiter from my LinkedIn profile.

Bentonville = Wal-Mart.

Typo. But there should be more programmers making 2M a year.

Ask HN: Who is this programmer making $200M per year?
