Exactly, I was kind of surprised that the H1B data was public in the first place.

But private companies usually don't release their salary info. I don't even think public companies do.

LCA declarations filed for H1B does have salary data. It is there to stop people from exploiting immigrant workers. At least that is the official stance. I am not sure how accurate the numbers are but this site seems to have extracted info from the H1B applications: http://redbus2us.com/h1b-visa-sponsors/ searchable by city. Looking up menlo park tells me, FB was the largest sponsor with median salary of 133k.

payscale and glassdoor has some data but not publicly available. ie http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/san-francisco-software-eng...
