Read this before quoting a number. These are the ranges the company itself advertised in its job postings, which US pay-transparency law requires it to publish. They are not salaries anyone was confirmed to be paid, and they are not survey percentiles.

Low is the lowest floor seen across every posting and high is the highest ceiling, so one company's whole spread — junior to staff, and every city it pays differently in — sits between those two numbers. Midpoint is the median of each posting band's own midpoint.

Base pay only. Equity, bonus and benefits are excluded, and at the companies where equity is most of the offer that makes these figures a floor rather than a total. Figures are US postings in US dollars; postings in other currencies were dropped rather than converted at a rate we would have had to invent.
