How this is worked out
Every figure comes from 95 roles that were live on this board and stated a salary in their own posting - not from a survey, and not from self-reported numbers. Ranges are counted at their midpoint, and pay quoted hourly or monthly is converted to a yearly figure before anything is pooled. US dollars only, because pooling currencies would produce a number nobody was ever offered. Only on-site and hybrid roles in California are counted; remote roles have their own figure.
