These come from the job postings Seeker tracks, not the whole job market, and they describe what employers advertise rather than what people earn. Every chart shows its sample size, and each number links to how it was produced.
244,504 active postings · 32.5% list a salary · snapshot July 27, 2026
Median years of experience requested at each Seeker level, counting only postings that give a number.
Based on 102,772 postings that state a number.
Of the Level 1 postings that give a number, 64 percent ask for two years or more. In design and marketing, about eight in ten do.
Median advertised pay by Seeker level, for US postings that list a salary. The bar is the middle half of the range (25th to 75th percentile). The line marks the median, shown in dollars on the right.
Based on 56,110 US postings that list a salary.
The biggest step is from Level 3 to Level 4, about $47k. Above Level 4 the median stops rising in a straight line. That is because the higher levels are a mix of senior individual-contributor and management roles, not one track. Level 5 leans toward individual contributors and Level 6 toward management.
* Level 0 has only 110 salaried postings, so read it with care.
The same postings point in opposite directions once you control for experience and for where the job was posted.
Based on 72,965 salaried postings.
About 77 percent of the remote postings come from one job board, so remote status and job source are hard to tell apart here. This data cannot give a single reliable number for remote pay.

Skill-level results are not here yet. The skill list still mixes real requirements with boilerplate, and the same skill goes by different names, so those numbers are being cleaned up before they go out.
