11 market ranges · employer-stated pay · updated Sep 24, 2026
These figures come from 36 market research postings where the employer stated pay, covering 3 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at senior, where 11 postings put the middle half between $94,750 and $142,500, with a median of $110,000.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run mid-level around $106,000, senior around $153,000 and lead around $245,000. Moving from mid-level to lead is worth roughly 131% more.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 4 of the 5 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.
