Among the 22 ads that publish a pay range, we compared the median pay of ads that name each item with ads that do not. This is a correlation in the ads, not a promise: an item can pay more because it comes with senior roles.
| Item named in the ad ⇅ | Ads naming it ⇅ | Ads not naming it ⇅ | Median pay midpoint with it ⇅ | Difference vs ads without it ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor's degree | 5 | 17 | $212,000 | +$35,200 |
| 'or equivalent experience' accepted | 6 | 16 | $212,000 | +$35,200 |
