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 Mar 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 24Mar 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 42021741Mar 2026 · 177,900 approximate USD floor · source post 47220396 Sep 2024Mar 2026
