Methodology
Figures are medians of signed Revelo placements, based on data from over 4,000 real Revelo placements, in a US-remote employment context. We use the median (robust to outliers), trim implausible values, and only publish a seniority band or role breakdown where the underlying sample is deep enough to be reliable. Salaries are the engineer's compensation; all-in employer cost layers Revelo's payroll, benefits, and compliance on top.
