Public HN “Who is Hiring” posts that include salary details

What salary details are stated?

How specific are the advertised salary amounts?

Each post is grouped by the salary details extracted from it: a range, one exact amount, a minimum, or values that could not form a usable range. Extraction can miss details, so check the original post.

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.

USD advertised bands. Scale covers known endpoints from 70,000 to 275,000.

How GitHub posts overlap with other technologies

Each row counts posts naming that technology; a post can appear in more than one row. Salary figures are approximate annualized USD estimates of advertised minimums, not full offer ranges or employee pay.

Approximate annualized USD estimates of advertised minimums are shown only when there are at least 30 comparable posts. “Not shown” means fewer than 30.

Starting-salary history

Advertised minimums over time

Each dot is one post’s approximate USD estimate of its advertised minimum, linked to the source post. The chart shows up to the 120 newest comparable estimates, from Sep 2024 to Sep 2026; older months remain in the table, so a missing dot does not mean there were no posts. Monthly summaries appear only with at least 30 comparable estimates. Values are approximate annualized USD estimates of advertised minimums, not full offer ranges or employee pay. They use a common comparison basis, not historical exchange rates or inflation. The mix of companies, recorded role levels, and currencies can change month to month.

Approximate annualized USD estimates of advertised minimums by source-post date Individual linked post floors appear as dots. Eligible month summaries show the p25 to p75 interval and a median mark. The vertical axis is approximate USD and begins at zero. Months without a valid point have no dot. 0k59k119k178k238k Source-post dateApproximate annualized USD estimate Sep 24Feb 25Jun 25Mar 26 Sep 2024 · 220,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41440007Oct 2024 · 118,984 approximate USD floor · source post 41777772Dec 2024 · 165,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42307199Feb 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42920765Mar 2025 · 100,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43343492Apr 2025 · 70,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43566287Apr 2025 · 100,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43686632Jun 2025 · 52,882 approximate USD floor · source post 44193494Nov 2025 · 100,854 approximate USD floor · source post 45812016Feb 2026 · 180,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46860157Feb 2026 · 190,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46862175Mar 2026 · 116,800 approximate USD floor · source post 47324911Aug 2026 · 80,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49248055Sep 2026 · 125,840 approximate USD floor · source post 49530430 Sep 2024Sep 2026

Other technologies named together

Which other technologies appeared in these posts?

Data and method

Listings tagged with the normalized technology GitHub. These figures describe advertisements, not verified employee earnings or currently open jobs.

Dates of included posts
2024-09-03 to 2026-09-02
Posts used
14 listings; 14 valid salary-minimum observations
What we compare
Median annualized estimate of advertised salary minimums
Currency conversion
Approximate USD using ECB daily reference rates as of 2026-10-09.

Fewer than 30 usable salary amounts are available, so we do not show a group median. Check the individual offers instead.

2026 includes 5 listings and 5 usable amounts. Its median is withheld below 30 usable amounts. This year overlaps the full history; it is not an independent sample or evidence of a pay trend.
