levelsfyi-top-pay-by-level

This repository contains information about the "Top Pay by Level" based data from Levels.fyi's "End of Year Pay Reports".

📣 Background

The data from Levels.fyi is a great resource for understanding the compensation landscape in the tech industry. The data is crowdsourced, and is a great way to understand what the 'market rate' is for a given role.

This repository simply takes public data from Levels.fyi's "End of Year Pay Reports" and visualizes the data in a different way for easy comparison.

🤝 Contributing

This repository welcomes contributions. If you have an idea for a visualization, or a different way to present the data, feel free to open an issue to start the conversation, and if you wish, a PR with the respective code change.

🔄 Data

The data used in this repository is sourced from Levels.fyi's "End of Year Pay Reports". The data is publicly available, and can be found at the following links:

Each year a Top Pay by Software Engineering Level section exists, and is broken down by level of engineer - starting in 2022, additional roles in 'tech' have started to be included as well.

To generate the graphs in this repository, @ChrisCarini has gone through and collected the data from each year into data.csv in this repository.

📋 TODO

  • Create a script that scrapes the data from Levels.fyi

📚 Notes

Below are notes for my own consumption.

  1. It was a pain to figure out the name of the chart I was looking for; below are some names I came across, but none seem to be the definitive name
    1. Bump Chart
    2. Rank Chart
    3. Ranking Plot
    4. Pareto chart
    5. Slopegraph
    6. Parallel coordinate plot

📖 Resources

Below is mostly a laundry list of the tabs I have open. Lots of them might be 'useful-ish' tabs that were me capturing graphs/visuals that were semi-close to what I was looking for.

Below are some of the useful links for getting the data from Levels.fyi - they contain the HTML pages, as well as the PDFs that Levels.fyi generated.
