How we count
Source: OTE Jobs' own index of public job postings on the Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby career boards of 1520 tech companies, refreshed every 3 hours. This is the market we track, not every sales job in the US. Pay = midpoint of the posted range in USD/yr for US roles; some postings state base, others OTE, so the OTE-labelled median is shown separately. "Posted" uses the employer's own post date; roles with no post date aren't counted as new. Groups with fewer than 10 postings are hidden. Trends compare against daily snapshots we started keeping on Oct 18, 2026, and only show once there are 7+ days of history. Updated Oct 28, 2026 11:12 AM ET.
