Paid Social salary
8 market ranges · employer-stated pay · updated Jul 30, 2026
These figures come from 95 paid social postings where the employer stated pay, covering 3 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at senior, where 30 postings put the middle half between $67,000 and $99,000, with a median of $72,000.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry level around $72,000, mid level around $100,000, senior around $74,000 and lead around $140,000. Moving from entry level to lead is worth roughly 94% more.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 5 of the 8 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.
