These figures come from 317 event marketing postings where the employer stated pay, covering 20 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at mid-level, where 25 postings put the middle half between $107,500 and $145,000, with a median of $120,000.

Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $54,000, mid-level around $113,000, senior around $160,000 and lead around $176,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 225% more.

Location moves the number too. Of the 3 cities with enough disclosures to rank, San Francisco pays most at around $153,000 and Chicago least at around $130,000, a gap of roughly 18%.

Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 19 of the 31 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.
