Method
US-dollar postings with both salary bounds listed. This page exists because 808 such postings clear the 50-posting floor Level requires before publishing a dedicated salary page — below that, the median moves too much between ingestion cycles to be a citable number.
Sample: product postings at tech companies tracked by Level (1,468 live postings in this category on the measured date). Not the whole labor market — do not cite as a national average.
All amounts are USD per year. Every median and quartile below excludes hourly-rate postings (a listed maximum under $1,000, almost always an hourly rate, not a salary) and mid-range postings that are neither clearly hourly nor clearly annual (maximum between $1,000 and $10,000) — mixing either into an annual median would understate the real number. The middle 50% of postings top out between $230,000–$305,000 (25th–75th percentile).
