Behind the $155k median are 11 Dallas, TX listings that disclosed salary, ranging from $24k up to $299k. That spread is wide on purpose: it covers entry-level seats and senior roles in the same category. Fractional work is usually billed as a day rate or monthly retainer, so an annualized figure assumes a steady book of clients. Income varies with how many engagements run at once.

Treat the median as the realistic number. The high end usually reflects a single senior posting, and local pay in Dallas tracks the cost of living more than the headline figure suggests. Dallas pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
