These figures come from 113 content strategy postings where the employer stated pay, covering 4 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 27 postings put the middle half between $113,000 and $126,000, with a median of $119,000.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $116,000, mid-level around $141,000, senior around $140,000 and lead around $162,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 39% more.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 6 of the 9 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.
