These figures come from 129 programmatic postings where the employer stated pay, covering 3 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 41 postings put the middle half between $72,000 and $90,000, with a median of $78,000.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $80,000, mid-level around $92,000, senior around $127,000 and lead around $176,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 121% more.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 6 of the 10 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.
