## Methodology

- Only job posts that state a salary are counted (no estimates); each post counts once at the midpoint of its advertised range.
- Pay is annualized (full-time equivalent) and converted to USD at the exchange rate of the publish date.
- Posts from the last 12 months by active companies, midpoints between $10,000 and $1,000,000; breakdown rows need at least 20 posts.
- Advertised ranges are what employers publish, not what people end up earning.
