How to Use This Data

Understand the Range

Min represents entry-level or lower-cost markets. Median is the 50th percentile, half of professionals earn more. Max represents senior-level or high-cost markets.

Factor in Cost of Living

A $90K salary in San Antonio (COL: -10%) provides more purchasing power than $110K in Washington, DC (COL: +32%). Always compare adjusted values.

Leverage Your Clearance

If you hold an active clearance, target roles that value it. The premium is real and significant, especially in defense, intelligence, and government contracting.

Negotiate with Data

Use these ranges as a starting point. 85% of employers expect negotiation. Cite market data, your clearance, and specific accomplishments.

Think Total Compensation

Base salary is only part of the picture. Factor in bonus potential, equity/RSUs, 401k match, health benefits, PTO, and remote work flexibility.
