VMware

VMware is navigating a new future as a standalone company - and it's expanding its ranks to do so.

The cloud computing giant finalized its $9.6 billion spinout from parent company Dell this week, not long after new executives took the helm. VMware CEO Raghu Raghuram, who assumed the position in May, is aiming to generate more revenue by selling software-as-a-subscription and growing the company's security and edge computing units. VMware recently hired - and is continuing to hire - a slew of new engineers, salespeople, and analysts to execute that vision.

To find out how much VMware is paying new hires, Insider analyzed salaries of approved H-1B visas published by the US Office of Foreign Labor Certification. This data is drawn from 951 approved visa applications for VMware workers hired in the last 12 months.

The data comes with some caveats: It's based on pay to foreign workers whose visas were sponsored by VMware, and includes only base pay not total compensation, which can include bonuses or stock. However, it still provides a rare glimpse into salary ranges that are usually kept private.

A VMware spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
