Salary Overview
Methodology and limitations
Based on 41 active, approved, unexpired listings with complete USD salary ranges. The median uses each listing's range midpoint, not actual employee pay. 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.
