Use this data
Journalists, researchers and teachers are welcome to use these numbers with a link. Source: open job postings on the public careers pages of 67 AI companies, read twice a day; a job counts while it is open. Role type, level and "no coding" come from each job title, so they are close but not perfect. Pay is the middle of each published yearly US-dollar range; equity and bonuses are excluded, and some sales roles publish on-target earnings.
