Who counts: we read each posting's full job description, not the title, to decide whether the role is GTM engineering. From 2025-11-04 to 2026-11-04 (365 days), 6,404 postings were identified as GTM engineering roles, in any country, with or without stated pay. Postings still awaiting checks, ones whose employer we have not confirmed and ones without a full English job description are not included.
Recruiters and job aggregators: of those, 1,097 were posted by a recruiter or an aggregator rather than the employer and are left out of every figure.
Stated pay: 2,103 postings from operating companies and agencies stated a salary, in any country and any currency.
Pay basis
Base salary only, per year. Pay a posting does not label is read as base salary, and pay with no stated period as annual. Each country is counted in its own currency (US in USD, Canada in CAD, UK in GBP); OTE and total-cash figures are never mixed in. A posting that states a range counts at its midpoint; one that states a single figure counts by that figure.
Cleaning
Each currency (USD, CAD, GBP) is cleaned on its own, over every posting that states pay in it, from any country, before postings are matched to a country. The one exception, pay with no readable country, is counted after that match. Each line names its unit: a posting; a disclosure, which is one stated pay figure or range (a posting can state several); or a contribution, which is one pay figure or range counted toward a country.
