Method
US-dollar postings with both salary bounds listed. This page exists because 4,870 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: sales postings at tech companies tracked by Level (18,130 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 Do not cite as a national average.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 $149,400–$260,000 (25th–75th percentile).
Refreshed automatically; this edition is measured November 2026. Small-n slices move a lot. Read the n column first.
