How to read the sales & account management pay numbers in Boston, MA

That $136k median comes from 134 Boston, MA postings with pay attached, spanning $30k at the low end to $520k at the top. That spread is wide on purpose: it covers entry-level seats and senior roles in the same category. Most listings quote on-target earnings, so the upper end of the band assumes commission is fully paid out. Base salary usually lands well below the median figure.

Use the median as your anchor, not the top of the range. One outlier listing can drag the maximum well above what a typical Boston role pays, so weigh any offer against the seniority that matches your own experience. Boston pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
