查了一下private salary survey的requirements，觉得大小公司都是用吧

requirements如下，第四条明确指出survey要在整个industry collect，所以就算是大公司也不能只用公司内部的sample来做，如果flag都用survey做参考，那同地区同职位的小公司的员工也可以用survey做啊。只要律所有数据就可以吧。

Private Salary Surveys for H-1B Visa Processing:
To qualify as a valid wage survey, it must meet the following guidelines:
1. Have been published within the last 24 months and be the most recent edition of the survey,
2. Must reflect the area of intended employment,
3. The data must represent workers who are similarly employed (as defined by a similar job title),
4. The data must have been collected across industries that employ workers in the occupation,
5. The prevailing wage determination should be based on the arithmetic mean of wages for similarly employed workers, and
6. The employer must include the methodology used to show that it is reasonable and consistent with recognized statistical standards and principles in producing a prevailing wage.
Pursuant to the Employment and Training Administration Prevailing Wage Determination Policy Guidance, Nonagricultural Immigration Programs, Revised May 9, 2005, page 16 and Appendix F and Department regulations at 20 Code of Federal Regulations 655.731(b)(3)(iii)(B)(1)-(2) and (C)(1)-(2) the prevailing wage rate should be based on the arithmetic mean of wages for workers that are similarly employed in the area of intended employment; however, if the survey provides a median wage of workers similarly employed in the area of intended employment and does not provide an arithmetic mean, the median wage should be used as the prevailing wage.

是的，身边小公司startup也有几个用非oes survey的实例了，出问题得是怕麻烦多花钱的小公司

第五条，就是类似职位取平均值而已。。。他们自己搞出来那几个（假的）quantiles，差得也太远了啊。另外，就算取平均值也不对，各个职级的工资都是长尾分布。应该是各个级别内部取median才好。

想问一下公司如果让律所用private survey会多花多少钱呢？拿到的offer也是小公司offer，还没和公司沟通这件事情，谢谢！

钱应该不是问题，时间成本可能比律所多花的几千多得多。原先oes数据按图索骥，现在要律所客制化
