First-year cash

Add base salary, signing money and a written guaranteed bonus. Keep a discretionary target separate and check whether signing or relocation money must be repaid if you leave.

Recurring compensation

Remove one-time payments, check whether guarantees expire, and ask how performance pay is assessed. Compare the same office, currency, seniority and job responsibilities.

How to read these salary figures

A posting is one observation

Each row links to an employer disclosure and identifies the role, location, pay period and review date. A posted range is not a measured average of employee earnings, an accepted offer, or a hiring guarantee.

Keep base and bonus separate

Base pay excludes discretionary bonuses unless the source explicitly says otherwise. We do not estimate an undisclosed bonus or turn a base range into a total-compensation claim.

Match the role and pay period

Compare the same location, experience requirements and work period. Weekly and monthly internship rates remain in their original units; they are not a full-year paycheck.

Check the original source

Postings change and may close. The checked date records when the disclosure was reviewed. Our collection is a selected set of public postings, not a representative salary survey.
