Monthly, weekly, and hourly rates are annualized at 12 months, 52 weeks, and 2,080 hours. This assumes year-round work, not guaranteed earnings. Equity, tokens, bonuses, and non-USD listings are excluded. Seniority and geography are not adjusted. USD amounts below $1,000 or above $1 million annualized are excluded pending source review; these are data-quality checks, not limits on what a role can pay.
