The data you see on such sites is only the base salary component as they parse through LCA disclosure data. As highlighted above, much of the compensation comes from bonuses / stocks etc. I did some analysis on the above data as well: http://ashwinikhare.in/tech-firms-guest-visa/

Yeah, sorry if I came across as implying it to be an equivalent data set. I just meant that if someone is wondering how the distribution of salaries compares to everyone with a specific title at a specific company, they might want to compare the base salaries being collated here with the base salaries for H1Bs with the same title.

That would be a fair comparison, but a challenging given the data available by OFLC. Most of the companies just mention the "Software Engineer" title, and don't mention the level when applying for LCA, whose data is disclosed. Some companies do, but don't everyone. FWIW, I'm pretty sure it should be around the same number.
