Compare 2026 with all years

Advertised offer bands
Each panel has a separate scale in the source currency. A band shows its stated lower and upper amounts; a marker shows a minimum with no upper amount. Pay period is not preserved in the listing record. These are historical advertisements, not confirmed current vacancies.
How to read these comparisons
Reading the San Francisco and Bay Area cohort
This page groups adverts mentioning San Francisco, Bay Area, Silicon Valley, or selected Peninsula and South Bay places. That is a broad search cohort, not a mapped commute area: a mention may be an office, hiring region, or passing reference. The BLS San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont metro wage series has a defined five-county footprint, while this keyword set also names places such as Palo Alto and Mountain View that belong to a separate San Jose metro definition.
Use BLS occupational estimates as a local reference only after matching the role and geography; they describe employee wages, not these adverts. Compare original advertised bands within the same currency and only where the post states a compatible pay period. Approximate USD floors help inspect one slice of listings, but they do not establish annual salary, employee earnings, or local net pay.
- Does the advert name the actual work location or only the hiring market?
- Does the BLS occupation and five-county metro match the role being compared?
- Are currency and stated pay period aligned before comparing native bands?
Starting salary ranges by recorded role level
Each side has at least 30 comparable estimates. These are approximate annualized USD advertised minimums grouped by the role level recorded on each post. The difference is descriptive and does not measure a remote-work pay effect.
