API Salary Ranges
Pay is quoted per market: the same role is worth several times more in one city than in another, so a single figure spanning countries would describe none of them. 914 of these 960 listings publish a salary. A further 14 internships are left out of every figure below — internships are a different market. Markets with fewer than 8 disclosed salaries are not shown.
