Information Security Analyst salary percentiles

What Information Security Analysts are actually paid

Every other salary site shows the LCA-posted wage — the wage for the position. Using USCIS I-129 petition data, we can compare that against the actual pay the sponsored worker received, and the prevailing-wage floor, across 2,334 matched Information Security Analysts petitions.

The median worker is paid 4.3% above the posted LCA wage, but the mean actual pay runs 9.7% above the mean posted wage — so the upside is concentrated in the top earners. 28.6% are paid above their posted wage, 70.3% at it, and 1.1% below.

Actual-pay data covers FY2021–FY2024 cap-subject H-1B lottery petitions matched to certified LCAs (aggregates only). Base wage excludes equity and bonuses, so it is not total compensation. Source: I-129 petition data sourced from USCIS, obtained by Bloomberg.

Of 6,537 filings, 315 are H-1B (temporary work visa) and 6,222 are PERM (green-card labor certification, 95% of the total).
