The salary distribution sits above the lower quartile at $113,750 and below the upper quartile at $177,500, with the median at $151,800, which points to a broad but still centered pay profile among the 570-posting salary sample. The work arrangement mix is weighted toward onsite advertising, while 161 hybrid and 151 remote postings show that flexible arrangements were present but secondary to onsite roles.
Remote share varied across the quarter, moving from 33.3% in 2026-04 to 14.8% in 2026-05 and then 18.1% in 2026-06. That pattern aligns with a month-by-month volume profile that was minimal in April, then much heavier in May and June, suggesting the quarter’s mix of advertised roles shifted as posting volume ramped.
By employment type: Full Time 841 · Contract 65 · Part Time 3 · Internship 1.
