How we count.

Where do these numbers come from?

From live electrical engineer 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 2026-09-24. 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 Most employers outside the US do not publish a pay range yet, so most figures here come from US postings.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.
