Methodology: ranges are taken verbatim from compensation posted publicly by employers on live NYC-area FDE job listings tracked on our job board, and refresh with the weekly board update. Equity, bonus, and OTE structures vary by listing; where a posting shows OTE or base, we chart the posted figures as written. 3 tracked roles do not disclose comp and are excluded.
