These figures come from 572 content creation postings where the employer stated pay, covering 23 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 88 postings put the middle half between $74,000 and $109,000, with a median of $85,000.

Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $88,000, mid-level around $107,000, senior around $130,000 and lead around $150,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 70% more.

Location moves the number too. Of the 7 cities with enough disclosures to rank, San Jose pays most at around $140,000 and Chicago least at around $91,000, a gap of roughly 54%.

Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 24 of the 46 US-dollar ranges rest on fewer than 10 postings, so treat those as a hint rather than a benchmark; the sample column tells you which.
