How to read this. These are pay ranges that employers published on their own career pages, converted to approximate US dollars a year using the middle of each range. Every employer counts equally, so a company that posts the same job in twenty countries counts once.
They are not a survey of what people earn. They lean towards employers that publish pay: many tech companies and places with pay-transparency laws. A role is only
listed when at least 8 postings from 3 employers list pay, so one company cannot set the figure. Use it as a guide when you negotiate, not as a promise.
