US remote vs on-site, same category
Half of the roles that state a salary pay more than this and half pay less, so read it as the middle of the market rather than a ceiling or a floor, and remember that only roles which disclose pay count towards it.

Remote versus on-site pay
How the remote median compares with on-site, category by category.
A higher remote median usually means remote hiring in that category is weighted towards senior roles, not that working from home pays extra, so compare the two on the same title and level before you trade location for pay.

Salary by job title
Median pay for each title, taken from the adverts themselves, in US dollars.
The middle-half range tells you more than the median: a narrow band means the rate for that title is well settled and there is little room to negotiate, while a wide one means the title covers quite different jobs and the detail of the ad decides what you are offered.
