Annual base salary in US dollars, as each firm's posting states it: no bonus, equity or sign-on. Almost all of it is from US roles, where pay-transparency laws require a range; hourly internship pay is annualised over 2,080 hours. Each posting counts once, at the middle of its range, or at its floor when it gives only a minimum. Open roles and those closed in the last 90 days are included. Firms with fewer than three postings are shown faded.
