What moves pay in these roles
- Company stage and size. Growth-stage companies often pay below the top of the range on base but weight the package toward equity and bonus.
- Location. The table above shows the difference between markets in this sample. Remote roles are usually benchmarked to a national range rather than the highest-paying city.
- Scope. Team size, quota, budget, or territory moves base pay more than years of experience alone.
- Total compensation. These figures are base salary only. Bonus, commission, and equity are on top, and in sales roles on-target earnings are often close to double the base.

How we calculate this: every figure comes from base salaries published on live SPG job postings. We take the midpoint of each posted range, then report the median and the 25th to 75th percentile. Roles without a published salary are excluded. This is a sample of 8 roles, not a national survey.
