Methodology

BuildList pulls salary ranges from company applicant tracking systems hourly. Nothing is self-reported or estimated.

Non-USD pay is converted to USD, and hourly, weekly, and monthly pay is annualized. Figures are medians and quartiles of each posting's range midpoint, weighted by currently open roles.

Base salary only. Equity and bonus are excluded. Groups with fewer than 30 salaried openings are withheld.
