How this is worked out

Every figure comes from 54 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 roles the board classifies as entry-level are counted, from the title and the experience the posting asks for.
