How this works: each figure is the midpoint of a job’s posted salary range, per year, for open full-time roles (internships and contracts excluded). A role posted in several cities counts once per city and once overall. Groups need at least 5 jobs; obvious typos are left out. Posted ranges are base pay and usually exclude bonus and equity.
