Where these numbers come from

Every entry is self-reported and anonymous — from the DesignX salary survey and from members who add their own numbers. Entries in other currencies are converted to USD; local figures here use a fixed rate, so treat them as a guide, not a quote. We only publish a page once a group has at least 10 entries.

Members can filter the full repo by company type and experience, and compare their own comp against the group. Open this group in the repo →
