Tech salaries from live job postings
50% of open tech postings do not state a salary, which leaves candidates guessing. These figures come from the 19,579 open roles that do publish a yearly US-dollar range. Each figure is a median: half of the postings advertise more than it, half less. These are advertised ranges, not what people are actually paid.
