Top locations
Quarter over quarter, total posting volume rose by 23.3%, while the median salary held at $110,000 and the remote share edged down from 1.7% to 1.6%. That combination points to stronger advertising volume without a shift in central pay, alongside a very small pullback in remote posting share.
The salary distribution is anchored between the lower quartile at $85,000 and the upper quartile at $135,000, with the median sitting between them, which suggests a broad but fairly centered pay spread among the 587 postings that included pay. Work arrangement data show a mostly onsite market, with 820 onsite postings, 154 hybrid postings, and 16 remote postings; the monthly remote share moved from 0% in April to 2.2% in May and 1.4% in June. Job-type reporting was also concentrated in full-time advertising, with only small numbers of contract, part-time, and internship postings marked as such.
By employment type: Full Time 960 · Contract 19 · Part Time 10 · Internship 1.
