Trump's H-1B Visa Plan Raises Entry-Level Tech Salaries Significantly

Under a proposal from the Trump administration, an entry-level software engineer in San Francisco would need to earn a minimum of $162,000 annually to qualify for an H-1B visa. In other cities, the salary floor would also rise, reaching about $113,000 in Dallas and $132,000 in New York. These figures represent nearly a 30% increase over current minimum salary requirements for these positions.
