H-1B sponsorship profile

Pinterest certifies 1,232 H-1B / E-3 wage filings through FY2026 — filing volume cooling. Below, how those offers compare to the legal prevailing-wage floor each role must clear.

Median offer sits essentially at the required minimum.

Filings paid above the floor

The rest are set exactly at the prevailing wage — legal, and common among high-volume filers.

Filing volume by fiscal year

Filed across 1 legal entity under this brand — largest: Pinterest, Inc. (1,232).

Every H-1B role carries a legally required prevailing-wage floor (the OES rate for that occupation, area, and level). The offered wage on the certified filing must meet or exceed it — so “% above floor” distinguishes employers who genuinely pay a premium from those who file at the minimum.

Green-card sponsorship record

Pinterest has 660 certified permanent-residency (PERM) applications on the federal record through FY2026 — filing volume rising. The question this answers: does this employer put workers on the path to a green card, or only on visas?

What this data is — and isn't

These bands come from certified H-1B Labor Condition Application disclosures — the base salary employers commit to on the record. They exclude equity, bonus, and benefits, and they cover only roles companies sponsor, which skews technical. Read them as a conservative, citable floor on what Pinterest pays — not total compensation. Our sources.
