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 60,000 to 300,000.

What stands out in Spark posts

Counts are based on posts naming this technology. A post may describe multiple openings; its role-level label applies to the post, not necessarily each opening.

How Spark 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 24Jan 25Oct 25May 26 Sep 2024 · 220,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41440007Oct 2024 · 72,839 approximate USD floor · source post 41714707Nov 2024 · 175,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42021741Jan 2025 · 60,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42577180Mar 2025 · 100,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43374225Apr 2025 · 140,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43558254Oct 2025 · 120,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45440009Nov 2025 · 120,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45802619Mar 2026 · 177,900 approximate USD floor · source post 47220396May 2026 · 90,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47976903Sep 2026 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49527133 Sep 2024Sep 2026

Other technologies named together

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.

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 3 listings and 3 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.
