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 Jun 2024 to Aug 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.

Which other technologies appeared in these posts?

For each month, this lists the three most-mentioned other technologies and how many posts named each one. A post can mention several technologies, so these counts overlap and do not add up to the number of posts.

Approximate USD comparison

Distribution of advertised minimums

Approximate annualized USD estimates of each post’s advertised minimum, not the employer’s full offer band. The middle half of observed minimums runs from $111k to $162k across 58 comparable estimates.

Advertised minimum distribution, approximate USD per year

The line spans the lowest to highest advertised minimum. The highlighted band spans the 25th to 75th percentiles, and the marker shows the median. Exact values follow.

Low $60kMedian $148kHigh $300k

Highlighted band: p25 $111k to p75 $162k. All values describe advertised minimums, not the upper ends of offer bands.

Role level recorded on the posts

Posts grouped by recorded role level

Each group uses the role-level label recorded for the post. One post may describe several openings, so the label may not apply to every position in the advertisement.
