How we count.
Where do these numbers come from?
From live administrative assistant postings in the neverapply index where the employer published a pay range. We take the middle of each range, convert it to a yearly amount in US dollars, and leave out every salary that was only predicted.
How often is this page updated?
Every week. We last counted on 2026-10-04. A role keeps its page only while at least 100 of its live postings state pay.
Why is my country or level missing?
We show a country or a level only when 25 or more of its live postings state pay. Most employers outside the US do not publish a pay range yet, so most figures here come from US postings.
How do I use this in a salary negotiation?
Use the median as the floor you compare offers with, and aim near the 75th percentile when your experience matches the role. Say where the number comes from: live job postings that state pay.
