These figures come from 65 paid search / ppc postings where the employer stated pay, covering 3 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 14 postings put the middle half between $72,000 and $76,000, with a median of $74,000.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $71,000, mid-level around $97,000, senior around $103,000 and lead around $122,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 72% more.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 7 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.
