How to read these ranges
The median is the market anchor: that's what a typical profile at the indicated level earns. The low end corresponds to entry into the level or constrained contexts (small company, tight market, junior tenure in the role), the high end to the most experienced profiles at the level or companies that pay above market.
These ranges remain indicative. Some more experienced profiles may earn less, others less experienced may earn more, depending on the company, negotiation, context and specific candidate skills. Traject is here to help you get the best out of your profile and your market.
Sources and method
These ranges are Traject benchmarks built from consolidated market signals: published job offers, seniority levels, self-reported compensation data, compensation references and consistency with the site role resources. They should be read as negotiation benchmarks, not as an individual guarantee.
Tips to negotiate your salary
- Anchor yourself on the market median. It's the reference point. The high end stays within reach if you show up with a strong case and results to back it up.
- Negotiate the whole package, not just base salary. Think variable pay, bonuses, equity (stock options or shares), paid time off, remote work, healthcare, training budget and equipment.
- Prepare your BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement), your fallback plan if the negotiation fails: another concrete offer, staying in your current role, or walking away calmly. If you have another offer in hand, mention it honestly. No bluffing: if they call your bluff, you have to be ready to follow through.
- When asked for your target, give a range that goes from the median to the high end, never from the low end to the median. You anchor the conversation high without sounding unrealistic.
- If the company can't hit your target right now, ask for a salary review in 6 or 12 months with clear goals on both sides. It's often accepted.
