How to read the sales & account management pay numbers in New York, NY

We pulled the $128k median from 1,000 New York, NY roles that named a number, a band that stretches from $33k to $840k. 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.

Anchor on the median rather than the maximum. A lone executive listing can stretch the upper band, so compare any offer to roles at your actual level before you read too much into the spread. New York pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
